The court had on Thursday, announced that the hearing in the appeal filed by Binani against INEC, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and the PDP will be conducted on the Friday, 1st December, 2023.

The memo further indicated that an appeal No: CA/YL/EP/AD/SHA/19/2023 between Umar Abdullahi, APC and Calvin Kefas, PDP and INEC for Toungo constituency, Adamawa state House of Assembly is also ripe for hearing.

While the parties involved in the matters were preparing to appear for hearing, the court postponed it but could not give reasons to its action, saying that the new date will be communicated to them accordingly.
