The Court of Appeal in Adamawa State has upheld the election of Hon. Mohammed Inuwa Bassi, member representing Mayo Belwa, Jada, Ganye and Toungo federal constituency.
The appellate court upheld the election of Hon. Bassi and dismissed the appeal instituted against him by the Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Ibrahim Mas'ud Usman.
The court dismissed the appeal in its entirety, saying that it was filed out of time and ought to be dismissed.
Hon. Ibrahim filed his appeal marked: CA/YL/EP/AD/HR/08/2023, praying the court to upturn the decision of the Election Petition Tribunal which dismissed his petition.
In his petition at the lower court, the petitioner sought for the nullification of the election of Rep Bassi, alleging substantial non compliance with the electoral act.
