SDP witness to tribunal: I was not in Kogi during governorship election

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) star witness in the Kogi State governorship election, Mr. Abdulmalik Njidda, on Monday told the state governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja that he was not in the state on the day of the poll.

Njidda, a data analyst with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), stated this when he completed his evidence-in-chief and was cross-examined by the respondents’ counsel.

The SDP governorship candidate, Murtala Ajaka, is challenging Governor Usman Ododo’s victory in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Kogi State.
