JUST IN: Appeal court upholds Ododo’s election as Kogi governor

The Appeal Court in Abuja has confirmed Usman Ododo’s election as the Governor of Kogi State.

On Thursday, a three-member panel of the court delivered a judgment dismissing the election petition filed by the Social Democratic Party and its governorship candidate, Murtala Ajaka.

The appellate court dismissed the appellants’ claims, saying that they failed to present credible evidence to substantiate their allegations of electoral malpractices, over-voting and certificate forgery.
