The Supreme Court has affirmed that Yahaya Bello is the duly elected governor of Kogi State.
This is as the court dismissed the appeals filed by the leading opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its governorship candidate, Musa Wada.
Bello is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC and was declared winner of the governorship election held on November 16, 2019.
Also against the governorship of Bello are the Social Democratic Party, SDP, and its candidate, Natasha Akpoti.
The court said the appeal filed lacked merit.
The seven-man panel of the Supreme Court that sat on the case was led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Tanko Mohammed.
