The supreme court has upheld the election of Francis Nwifuru as Ebonyi state governor.
Recall that Ifeanyi Odii of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenged the election of Nwifuru on the grounds of electoral malpractice.
He also said Nwifuru was not properly sponsored by his political party for the March 2023 election.
Delivering judgment on Friday, Tijani Abubakar, who led a five-member panel of the court, held that “the appeal” was always going “to fall like a pack of cards”.
“It is unmeritorious and is dismissed,” the court ruled.
More to come…
