Fintiri Faces Legal Battle Over Revocation of Land Used for Tinubu’s Campaign

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State is facing a legal battle over the revocation of a two-hectare land belonging to an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Abubakar Babazango (Abaza).

The land in question was used for the presidential campaign of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the governor’s decision to revoke it has stirred controversy.

Barrister Desmond Adewale, representing Babazango, argued in court on Monday that the revocation was purely political and not for public interest as claimed by Governor Fintiri.

The governor had stated that the land would be used to build a model school, but Adewale pointed out that this was not the case.

The legal battle has brought to light the political motivations behind the land revocation and has raised questions about the use of public interest as a justification for such actions.

The case is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the court will rule on the matter.

The legal battle between Governor Fintiri and the APC chieftain over the revocation of land used for Tinubu’s presidential campaign is a significant development in Adamawa State.

The outcome of this case could have implications for future decisions made by the governor and may set a precedent for similar situations in the future.
