The Adamawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed a petition by the Action Peoples Party and its substitute candidate in the last governorship election, Bitrus Meda, challenging the election of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
Delivering judgement on the petition on Saturday, however, the tribunal said it could not grant the prayers of the petitioners because they failed to give valid proof of their claim of unlawful exclusion. The APP which had relied on that verbal action of Rukaya Audu to substitute her with Bitrus Meda, went to the tribunal after INEC had gone ahead to print Rukaya Audu on the ballot, resulting in a 180-vote for the APP with not Bitrus Meda but Rukaya Audu as the candidate known to the electorate.Chairman of the governorship election petition tribunal, Justice Adediran Adebara, who read the text of the judgement, said the petitioners had no valid case, considering the issues around it.
