The Supreme Court, on Monday,
upheld the election victory of Governor
Godwin Obaseki of Edo State.

In an unanimous judgment, a seven-man
panel of Justices of the apex court headed
by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice
Walter Onnoghen, dismissed appeal that
was lodged by gubernatorial candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the
September 28, 2016 governorship election
in Edo State, Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
The apex court court panel held that both
interlocutory and main Appeal Ize-Iyamu
lodged before it lacked merit.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court said it
would on July 24, give reasons why it
validated the election of Obaseki who
emerged on the platform of the All
Progressive Congress, APC.
More details soon.
