Binani withdraws suit against INEC

The Federal High Court, Abuja has dismissed the suit filed by Binani Ahmed, candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the last Adamawa governorship election.

She had sought for judicial review of the decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission to reverse her earlier announcement as winner of the election by the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner.

During Wednesday’s proceedings, her lawyer informed the court about the notice of discontinuance filed by the plaintiff and prayed the court to strike out the suit.

Following the motion for discontinuance, Justice Inyang Ekwo said he will make an order dismissing the matter.
