The Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo and the All Progressives Congress (APC) will open their defence on the petition challenging the outcome of last year’s governorship election at the state’s election tribunal sitting in Abuja on April 15.
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) and its candidate, Murtala Ajaka, are challenging Ododo’s victory in the November 16, 2023 election over alleged irregularities.
The three-member tribunal headed by Justice Ado Birnin-Kudu fixed the date after SDP and Ajaka closed their case after calling 25 witnesses.
