Senator Aisha Dahiru Ahmed (Binani), who was the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the last governorship election in Adamawa state, has had her lawsuit thrown out by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, April 26, 2023.
The lawsuit sought a judicial review of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) decision to reverse her initial announcement as the winner of the election by the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC).
