BREAKING: Supreme Court Upholds Fubara’s Election, Dismisses APC’s Appeal

Must read

The Supreme Court has upheld the election of Siminalayi Fubara as the governor of Rivers State, dismissing an appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress candidate, Tonye Cole. Cole had sought the apex court’s intervention, claiming irregularities in the election and asserting that Fubara did not properly resign from his previous position as required by law. The tribunal and the Court of Appeal had earlier rejected Cole’s case for lacking merit. In a unanimous decision, the five-man panel ruled that the appellant failed to substantiate allegations of non-compliance with the Electoral Act during the election.
