The Supreme Court on Tuesday affirmed the election of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

The seven-man panel headed by Justice Sylvester Ngwata affirmed the election after listening to the closing statements of all the counsel.


The court in a unanimous judgement dismissed the appeal filed by Hon. James Faleke, the running mate to late Abubakar Audu, the initial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, and a former Governor of the State, Captain Idris Wada, who was also the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the election.



The court also said it will provide reasons for its decision on September 30.

is a very simple judgement. it goes like this
if a man suppose to marry woman by 12pm and he die 7am same day of his wedding, can the woman share in the man properties?

this is the parable of kogi state judgement today

Yes of course

A Sad loss to democracy

emmddy:
impossible, because she is not his wife yet, doing so will be out of mercy or familiarity

Congratulations to Yahaya Bello. The judgement, though final is unfortunate. It makes a complete mockery of the electioneering process and the right of people to elect a leader of their choice.
