Gov Ododo opens defence in SDP petition against election

The Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo, on Wednesday, tendered bundles of electoral documents in seven disputed local government areas in defence of his victory in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in the state.

Ododo, through his lawyer, Paul Daudu (SAN), tendered the documents at the Kogi State governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja to open his defence on the petition filed by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and its candidate, Murtala Ajaka.

The petitioners are challenging the outcome of the election over alleged fraud.
