The candidate of the All Progressives Congress EMMANUEL JIME had dragged ORTOM to court over allegations of over-voting and other electoral malpractices during the 2019 governorship elections.
But in a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice SYLVESTER NGWUTA, the apex court agreed with the concurrent findings of the election petition tribunal and the Court of Appeal that ORTOM was the winner of the election.
In another judgment delivered by Justice MOHAMMED DATIJO, the apex court upheld the election of AHMADU FINTIRI as the Governor of Adamawa State.
The court ruled that the appellant failed to prove the allegation of over-voting and other infractions he listed in his petition.
