The Appeal Court in Abuja has upheld the election of Usman Ododo as the Governor of Kogi State. The ruling was delivered today by a three-member panel of the court, which dismissed the election petition lodged by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and its gubernatorial candidate, Murtala Ajaka.
The court ruled that the petitioners did not provide sufficient credible evidence to substantiate their allegations of electoral malpractices, over-voting, and certificate forgery. This decision solidifies Ododo’s victory in the disputed election, marking a crucial legal milestone in the gubernatorial contest.
Stay tuned for further updates as more details emerge on this developing story.
