In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has affirmed Siminalayi Fubara’s victory as the Rivers Governor under the banner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a unanimous judgment delivered on Thursday, a five-member panel of the court declared that the appeal lodged by Tonye Cole of the All Progressives Congress (APC) lacked merit.
Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, delivering the lead judgment, emphasized the inadequacy of evidence presented by Cole and the APC, leading to the dismissal of their appeal.
Justice Saulawa meticulously addressed and dismissed all four issues presented for consideration in the appellants’ appeal.
Further details will be provided shortly.
