The Supreme Court on Monday reserved judgment in an appeal by the All Progressives Congress and its Adamawa State governorship candidate, Aisha Dahiru aka Binani against the state governor, Ahmadu Fintiri.
A five-member panel of the apex court led by John Okoro adjourned the matter for judgment after listening to the arguments of parties involved in the matter.
No date was fixed for the delivery of the Adamawa State judgement.
Binani, is challenging the victory of Fintiri at the March 18 governorship election in the state, but has had her appeals dismissed by both the state election petition tribunal and the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
The Appellate court in its unanimous judgment, delivered by Justice Tunde Oyebanji Awotoye, struck out the appeal for lack of merit.
Justice Awotoye said the Appellants failed to prove allegations of over-voting, irregularities and non-compliance.
The court berated the INEC REC, for taking laws into his hands in the controversial declaration he made in the election.
The unanimous judgment dismissed the appeal in its entirety and award a cost of N1M to be paid to Fintiri and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by Binani and APC.
