Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), will on April 15 open their defence at the state’s governorship election tribunal sitting in Abuja against the petition filed by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and its candidate, Murtala Ajaka.
The three-member tribunal, chaired by Ado Birnin-Kudu, fixed the date on Friday after SDP and Mr Ajaka, the petitioners, closed their case.
The petitioners closed their case after calling 25 witnesses as against 400 witnesses they initially proposed to present to prove their petition.
