Supreme Court affirms Ododo’s election as Kogi governor

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the election of Usman Ododo as the Governor of Kogi State.

The apex court’s ruling ended a prolonged legal battle initiated by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in the November 11, 2023, governorship election in the state, Murtala Ajaka.

The SDP candidate had appealed the verdicts of both the Appeal Court and the state governorship election petitions tribunal which upheld Ododo’s victory in the election.
