The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed an appeal by the Social Democratic Party and its candidate in the Adamawa governorship election, Umar Ardo.
This came after the counsel for the candidate prayed the court to withdraw the case.
The five-member panel led by John Okoro subsequently dismissed the appeal.
The Court of Appeal in Abuja and the tribunal had dismissed Ardo’s petition challenging the victory of Ahmadu Fintiri
Finitiri is now left with the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress and its candidate, Aishatu Dahiru, seeking to be declared the governor of the state.
