The Social Democratic Party (SDP) and its candidate, Umar Ardo, for the Adamawa governorship election faced a setback today as the Supreme Court dismissed their appeal. The judgment came after the candidate’s attorney requested the court to drop the case.
A five-member panel, presided over by John Okoro, made the decision to dismiss the appeal. This follows earlier rulings by the Court of Appeal in Abuja and the tribunal, both of which had rejected Ardo’s petition challenging the victory of Ahmadu Fintiri.
With the dismissal, Fintiri is now contending only with the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Aishatu Dahiru, who seeks to be declared the governor of the state.
The fate of Fintiri’s governorship now hinges on the outcome of the remaining appeal filed by the APC and its candidate, Aishatu Dahiru.
