The supreme court has affirmed the election of Francis Nwifuru as Ebonyi state governor.
Ifeanyi Odii of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had 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.
