The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of Francis Nwifuru as the dully elected Governor of Ebonyi State.
The apex court in a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Tijani Abubakar dismissed the appeal Chukwuma Odii of the Peoples Democratic Party.
the Court of Appeal in Lagos had earlier affirmed the election of Nwifuru as the duly elected governor of Ebonyi State.
In a unanimous decision, the three-member panel led by Justice Jummai Sankey dismissed the appeal filed by Chukwuma Odii of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The panel also resolved all five issues raised against the appellant and dismissed the appeal for lacking merit.
Justice Sankey held that the PDP and its candidates lacked the legal right to meddle in the internal affairs of the All Progressives Congress as it relates to the nomination of candidates.
