Senator Aisha Dahiru Ahmed Binani, the 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State, has had her suit seeking judicial review of the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reverse her declaration as winner of the governorship election dismissed by Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The APC candidate had approached the court following the reversal of her declaration as winner of the election by the state's Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari. During proceedings, counsel to the senator informed the court that he had duly filed a notice of discontinuance as directed by the plaintiff, and prayed the court to strike out the suit. Nevertheless, Justice Ekwo dismissed the suit.
Last week, the same judge refused to entertain an ex-parte application brought before it by the APC governorship candidate seeking to determine whether INEC can take any further steps on the declared governorship election result.
