Supreme Court Reserves Judgment On Binani’s Suit Against Adamawa Governor

The Supreme Court has reserved judgment in the appeal by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate, Aisha Dahiru, popularly called Binani, against the governor of Adamawa state, Ahmadu Fintiri.

The tribunal and Court of Appeal had dismissed Binani’s petition challenging the victory of Finitiri in the governorship election held last year.

The five-member panel led by John Okoro adjourned the matter for judgment after listening to the arguments of the parties involved in the matter.

The main contention of Binani, through her counsel, Akin Olujimi, at the day’s proceeding, is that the controversial declaration by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Ari, was lawful.

Galaxy Tv reports that at the hearing of the matter on Monday, Counsel to the Appellant, Akin Olujimi, SAN, adopted and relied on all the brief of his client,.praying the court to allow the appeal sail through.

He equally urged the court to set aside the judgement of the lower court and grant all the prayers of his client

On their part, Counsels to the Respondents, Damn Dodo, SAN, Bimbo Atilola, also adopted the brief of their respective clients and urged the court to dismiss the appeal for lack of merit.

The Chairman of the five man panel, Justice John Okoro, afterward reserved judgement on the matter and promised to communicate the date for the judgement to the Counsels.
