The Independent Democratic Monitors (IDM) has welcomed the Appeal Court ruling affirming Hyacinth Alia’s victory as the elected governor of Benue State.
In a statement signed by Dr. James Bawa, its Executive Secretary, the group said the outcome has laid credence to the governorship tribunal which was also in the favour of Governor Alia and his deputy, Dr Sam Ode.
Recall that the appellate court earlier today dismissed an appeal brought before it by the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Titus Uba challenging the election of Alia.
In a unanimous judgment, the court resolved all three issues formulated for determination against Uba and PDP for various reasons.
