The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed an appeal by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and its governorship candidate in Adamawa State, Umar Ardo, against Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s victory in the March 18, 2023 election.
The five-member panel led by Justice John Okoro dismissed the appeal after the counsel for the SDP candidate prayed the court to withdraw the case.
When the matter was called, a member of the panel, Justice Helen Ogunwumiju drew the attention of counsel to the appellants, Sylvester Imanogbe, to the fact that the appeal was incompetent.
