The appeal filed by Abubakar Ohere of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was dismissed by the court for lacking in merit.
In a judgment delivered on Tuesday, the panel of the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal, which had earlier nullified Ohere’s victory and declared Akpoti-Uduagan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the February 25th 2023 election.
