Ardo’s counsel stated they would file a petition to challenge the verdict.

Adamawa’s deputy governor hailed the judgment as a victory for democracy and called on petitioners to collaborate with the government in building a new Adamawa.

In the election, Fintiri secured victory with 430,861 votes, while the APC candidate received 398,788 votes.
