Following the Adamawa State Governorship Election which dragged into a supplementary poll, the Tribunal on Saturday affirmed the re-election of Umaru Fintiri as duly re-elected Governor of the state in the March 2023 governorship election.
Recall the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared incumbent Fintiri who sought reelection as the winner.
But at the end of a drama-filled exercise which ended in April, Fintiri, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), polled 430,861 votes, defeating Aisha ‘Binani’ Dahiru of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who got 398,738 votes.
Dissatisfied, Binani and some other contestants had approached the Tribunal seeking the nullification of the victory of Fintiri but the court on Saturday upheld the second term victory of the incumbent governor.
