In a significant development, the Supreme Court has rejected the appeal filed by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and its candidate, Umar Ardo, in the Adamawa governorship election. The dismissal followed the candidate’s counsel’s request to withdraw the case. The five-member panel, led by John Okoro, concluded the proceedings by dismissing the appeal. Earlier, both the Court of Appeal in Abuja and the tribunal had also dismissed Ardo’s petition challenging the victory of Ahmadu Fintiri. Fintiri’s re-election now faces the remaining challenge from the All Progressives Congress and its candidate, Aishatu Dahiru. Further details on this matter will be provided later.
