The Supreme Court, on Monday, affirmed Yahaya Bello of Kogi State as the winner of the Governorship Election
The apex court dismissed an appeal lodged by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Musa Wada, to challenge the outcome of the gubernatorial election that held in the state on November 16, 2019.
Mr Wada claimed that the election held on November 16, 2019, was riddled with serious electoral infractions; rigging and over-voting, and that Governor Bello didn’t secure the highest vote.
Aside from the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, other members of the panel included Justices Olabode Rhodes-Vivour, Sylvester Ngwuta, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, Inyang Okoro, Amina Augie, Uwani Abba-Aji.
