A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by Aisha ‘Binani’ Dahiru seeking to be affirmed as the winner of the Adamawa state governorship election.
Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, dismissed the suit at the court session on Wednesday following a notice of discontinuance filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate through her lawyer.
Mohammed Sheriff, Binani’s counsel, had asked the court to strike out the suit.
However, the judge held that the lawyer failed to address the court on the issue of jurisdiction as ordered on April 18.
Consequently, Ekwo said the appropriate order would be to dismiss the suit.
