The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue and its governorship candidate, Mr. Titus Uba, have appealed the verdict of the state governorship election petition tribunal in the state.
The three-member panel led by Justice Ibrahim Karaye on September 24 upheld Governor Hyacinth Alia’s victory in the March 18 election in the state.
Justice Karaye, who read the judgement, held that issues raised by the petitioners were pre-election matters that ought to have been entertained by the Federal High Court and not by the election petitions panel.
