Court Rules On Binani’s Suit Against Inec On Adamawa Election Declaration

Published

on

The Federal High Court, Abuja has dismissed the suit filed by AISHA DAHIRU-AHMED, candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the last Adamawa governorship election seeking for judicial review of the decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission to reverse her earlier announcement as winner of the election by the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.

During proceedings, her lawyer, Mohammed Sheriff, informed the court about the notice of discontinuance filed by the plaintiff and prayed the court to strike out the suit.


Following the motion for discontinuance, Justice Inyang Ekwo reminded Sheriff that an order was given on the last adjourned date directing him to address the court on whether the court had the jurisdiction to entertain the case or not. The judge, however, held that since Sheriff had failed to go by the order of the court, the appropriate thing to do was to dismiss the matter.
