The high court in Abuja on Tuesday, dismissed a suit issued by the African Action Congress (AAC) to stop the collation of results of the March 9th election for Governorship and House of Assemblies.

The judgement was issued by Justice Inyang Ekwo, which upheld the People Democratic Party (PDP)’s objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction to hear the case.
