The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Fintiri the winner of the March 18 governorship election and the supplementary election held on April 16, 2023. However, the Adamawa Resident Electoral Commission, Hudu Ari had declared Binani as the winner of the poll before the conclusion of the election. The police subsequently arrested Ari over his conduct during the governorship election in Adamawa and granted him bail. The duo of Binani and Ardo took their appeals further to the apex court, urging the court to sack Fintiri. The Supreme Court had on January 10 dismissed the appeal by Ardo for want of merit.

The Apex Court, in a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice John Inyang Okoro held that Binani’s appeal was devoid of merit and consequently dismissed it. The senior lawyer said the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) who pronounced Binani as winner of the March 18, 2023 Governorship election had powers under the Electoral Act to do what he did. Specifically, Olujinmi insisted that as a Staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the REC cannot be faulted for making declaration in the election he superintendent over.

He explained that the Resident Electoral Commissioner who made the unlawful declaration refused to show up at the Adamawa State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal to give evidence and justify his actions.

It’s been almost 30 years since the original Tekken burst into arcades to face off against Sega’s Virtua Fighter and kickstart a decade-long battle for fighting supremacy. Unlike 2D fighting games such as Street Fighter, characters can circle each other rather than just moving on a 2D plane, adding a sense of depth. There’s a chat system, and there are places to customise your character or indulge in lighthearted games of Tekken Ball, the game’s answer to volleyball. Tekken used to be dismissed as a showy poser by Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter veterans, its combos seen as over-automated and inexpressive. But later Tekken titles have added subtle layers of complexity, and now Tekken 8 wants everyone to see how that works.
