Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State says “distractions” facing his administration were now over after the Supreme Court ruled that he is the validly elected governor of the state.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that a five-member panel of the court headed by John Okoro, on Friday, unanimously dismissed two appeals filed by the Labour Party and its candidate, Chijioke Edeoga, in the 18 March governorship election in the state.
Before approaching the Supreme Court, Mr Edeoga, who came second in the election, had challenged the victory of Mr Mbah at the Enugu State Election Petition Tribunal and the Court of Appeal in Lagos State but failed to win.
