Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo
NAN reports that the appeal challenges the result declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, which announced Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of that election.
NAN also reports that Ighodalo’s legal team, led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria Ken Mozia, asked the court to overturn the judgments of the lower courts, which had upheld INEC’s declaration of Okpebholo as winner.
On May 29th, the Court of Appeal in Abuja affirmed the ruling of the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
Both courts dismissed Ighodalo’s petition, describing it as lacking merit. – NAN
