The Supreme Court has affirmed the victory of Peter Mbah as the elected governor of Enugu State in the March 18 gubernatorial election.
While delivering the judgement on Friday, the five-member panel of the apex court led by Justice Mohammed Garba, in a unanimous decision, held that a petition filed by the governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Chijioke Edeoga, failed to prove the allegations of substantial non-compliance with the electoral law against Mbah.
The court also dismissed allegation of NYSC certificate forgery which was one of the basis for which the LP and Edeoga wanted the court to disqualify Mbah.
