 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring.

 Appeal Court upholds Gov Fintiri’s election, fines Binani N1m



Court of Appeal, on Monday, in Abuja, upheld the election of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party as the validly elected Governor of Adamawa State.


The court, however, dismissed the appeal filed by Aishatu Binani of the All Progressives Congress for lacking merit.


The appellate court, in the judgment delivered by Justice Ebiowei Tobi, awarded N500,000 in favour of Fintiri and the PDP, while describing her appeal as lacking merit.


The court upheld the decision of the tribunal, which on October 28 dismissed Aishatu Binani’s petition and upheld the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission that Fintiri won the election.


Returning Officer for the governorship election, Prof Muhammed Mele, had said Fintiri won the supplementary election with 9,337 votes to 6,513 votes. In total, PDP’s Fintiri won 430,861 votes, while APC’s Binani scored 398,788 votes.


Mele had said, “That Ahmadu Fintiri of the PDP having satisfied the requirements of the law is hereby declared the winner and is returned elected.”


The tribunal had dismissed Binani’s petition for failing to prove her allegations of over-voting, as she did not tender the necessary documents to support her case. The appellate court’s judgment on Monday upheld the tribunal’s ruling and affirmed Fintiri as the governor of the state.


The court also criticised the premature announcement of the election outcome by the then Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Yunusa-Ari, stressing that his actions were illegal.


The court stressed that only the Returning Officer had the power to announce election results in accordance with the law.


The governorship election had generated controversy when Yunusa –Ari declared Binani of the APC as the winner of the election.


But the Federal High Court in Abuja in November gave the nod for INEC to prosecute Yunusa-Ari, who is facing a six-count charge for attempting to usurp the role of the Returning Officer for the election.
