The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, on Monday, dismissed the appeal filed by Titus Uba and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which sought an order setting aside the judgment of the Benue State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal tribunal which upheld the election victory of Governor Hyacinth Alia of the All Progressives Congress.
After Alia was declared winner of the governorship poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Uba and the PDP approached the Tribunal, insisting that the governor was at the time of the election not qualified to contest the poll.
