The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed an appeal against Governor Ahmadu Fintiri by the Social Democratic Party and its candidate in the Adamawa governorship election, Umar Ardo.
This came after the counsel for the candidate prayed the court to withdraw the case.
The five-member panel led by John Okoro subsequently dismissed the appeal.
