Both the state election petition tribunal and the Court of Appeal had previously dismissed Binani’s petition contesting the outcome of the governorship election in Adamawa State.
In the proceedings at the Supreme Court on Monday, a five-member panel, presided over by Justice John Okoro, heard the arguments presented by the parties involved in the case.
Following the deliberations, the court adjourned the matter, reserving its judgment for a later date.
The APC and Binani are seeking a reversal of the decisions made by the lower courts, contending that the election was marred by irregularities and electoral malpractices, while Governor Fintiri, on the other hand, maintains that the victory at the polls was legitimate and reflects the will of the people of Adamawa State.
