Appeal court dismisses Ighodalo's appeal as it affirms Okpebholoâ??s election as Edo governor

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has upheld the election of Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the duly elected governor of Edo State.  The appellate court delivered its judgment on Thursday, May 29, dismissing the appeal filed by Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and his party, challenging the outcome of the September 21, 2024, governorship election. A three-member panel of the court ruled unanimously that the appeal lacked merit. The justices affirmed that the appellants failed to demonstrate any error in the judgment earlier delivered by the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on April 2, which had validated Okpebholos victory. In its ruling, the Court of Appeal maintained that the tribunals findings and conclusions were sound and in accordance with the law, thereby confirming Monday Okpebholo as the legitimate winner of the election.The post Appeal court dismisses Ighodalo's appeal as it affirms Okpebholos election as Edo governor appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
