S’Court affirms Okpebholo Edo Governor

News Update

THE supreme court has affirmed the election of Monday Okpebholo as governor of Edo state in the 2024 governorship election.

On Thursday, a five-member panel of the apex court, led by Mohammed Garba, dismissed as lacking in merit an appeal by Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to nullify the outcome of the governorship election that held in the state on September 21, 2024.

Garba said the appellants failed to prove that Oklebholo did not secure lawful votes in the election and did not properly demonstrate that the decision of the tribunal and the court of appeal was perverse.

“The appeal is hereby dismissed for lacking in merit and the judgement affirms the decision of the tribunal and court of appeal,” he said.
