The
Supreme Court of Nigeria in a unanimous decision yesterday, dismissed the
appeal by the PDP governorship candidate in Ogun State, Adegboyega Isiaka.
Isiaka
had challenged the judgments of the Court of Appeal and the Ogun State
Governorship Election Tribunal, which upheld the election of Ibikunle Amosun as
governor.
Justice
Akaahs, who read the lead judgment held that the appeal lacked merit and
dismissed it.
The
apex court equally dismissed the appeal by the governorship candidate of the
Labour Party (LP) in Ebonyi State, Edward Nkwegu.
Justice
Chima Centus Nweze, who read the lead judgment, held that the preliminary
objection raised by Umahi succeeds in part.
He
resolved the two issues on the main appeal against the appellant.
“No
merit in this appeal. Umahi is the duly elected governor of Ebonyi State.
Reasons will be given on Friday, January 29,” he held.
