Justice Ogakwu stated that there was no foundation to grant the appeal.

Following Fintiri’s declaration as the winner of the poll, the SDP candidate and his party filed a petition at the State Governorship Election Tribunal, seeking the nullification of Fintiri’s re-election. Ardo argued that there was significant non-compliance with the Electoral Act, as well as corrupt practices, threats, and violence during the exercise. Despite appealing the tribunal’s judgment, the appellate court dismissed Ardo’s petition.
