Governor Finally Survives Plot By Prominent APC Woman To Sack Him

The Supreme Court on Wednesday has affirmed the election of Governor Ahmadu Finitiri as the Governor of Adamawa State and with it bringing to an end the fight and alleged plot by Senator Aisha Dahiru, one of the most prominent women of the Muhammadu Buhari era to sack him.

The decision, delivered on Wednesday by Justice John Okoro, dismissed the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Candidate, Aisha Dahiru.

GWG.ng reports that as part of the plot that was arranged against Fintri, that the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Ari in the presence of heads of some other security agencies had announced Dahiru as winner of the election without detailed result before the national headquarters burst the plot.

It was claimed at that time that he was acting on instruction from ‘above’.

Recall that the Supreme Court last week reserved its judgment on the appeal filed by Binani and APC.

The decision was made by a five-member panel led by Justice John Okoro after hearing arguments from the parties involved in the case.

The five-member panel of the Supreme Court led by Justice John Okoro on Wednesday concluded that Dahiru’s appeal lacked merit and as such upheld the election of Fintiri.

The judgment specifically criticized the actions of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Ari, describing them as “irresponsible and criminal.”

This denouncement stems from the controversy surrounding the announcement of election results in Adamawa State.

Justice Okoro emphasized that under the Electoral Act, the responsibility to declare election results lies exclusively with the returning officer.

He highlighted that this protocol is vital to prevent chaos and anarchy during the electoral process.

The Supreme Court’s ruling thus reinforces the importance of adhering to established electoral guidelines and procedures.

This ruling puts the legal contestation over the Adamawa State Governorship election to rest and affirms the legitimacy of Governor Fintiri’s victory.
