The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday evening declared incumbent Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri as the winner of the Adamawa State Governorship Election.
The Returning Officer, Muhammed Melee, declared Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the poll as he polled 430,861 votes to defeat his major contender, Aisha Binani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who polled 398,788.

This declaration brings to an end the controversies that greeted the supplementary election held last Saturday.

This is a developing story. More details shortly…

In other news, it was reported that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja refused to hear the ex-parte motion filed by Senator Binani.

The court refused to entertain Binani’s suit on Tuesday.

Binani and the APC, in the motion ex-parte marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/510/2023, had sued the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate, Governor Fintiri, as 1st, 2nd and 3rd respondents respectively.

Binani, through her lawyer, Hussaini Zakariyau, SAN, had sought a judicial review of the administrative decision of INEC on April 16 in respect of her declaration as the winner of the governorship election held on March 18 and the supplementary poll of April 15.
