The Akanbi seating in Yola, threw out both cases for lack of merit
One of the petitioners, Masi Garba had approached the tribunal challenging the victory of Senator Cliff Abbo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election over claims of massive irregularities.

Similarly, the tribunal has upheld the elections of the senator representing southern Adamawa, Binos Dauda Yeroe aftet it dismissed the petition filed by the former senator representing southern Adamawa, Mohammed Moallayidi.
The justice Suleiman Akombi led elections tribunal dismissed the petition of the candidate of All Progressives Party (APC), Mo-Allahyidi, over failure to provide concrete evidence to back his allegations and claims, that the election was marred with corrupt practices, rigging, irregularities and over voting.
