- Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Fintiri as winner of the gubernatorial election in March
- Aishatu Dahiru Binani was the All Progressive Governorship candidate in Adamawa
The election of Ahmadu Fintiri, the guber candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the legitimate governor of Adamawa State has been confirmed by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
As a result, the court rejected the complaint filed by Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani of the All Progressives Congress, who was his closest opponent.
After the elections in March 2023, Binani filed a petition with the Adamawa State Governorship Electoral Petitions Tribunal to have Fintiri’s victory declared void due to extensive irregularities and non-compliance with the electoral act. But in October, the Tribunal confirmed Fintiri’s election, which led Binani to file an appeal with the Court of Appeal.
