The Supreme Court has affirmed the election victory of Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State.
The apex court in its ruling on Friday led by Justice Tijjani Abubakar, dismissed two separate appeals that sought to sack Nwifuru of the All Progressives Congress (APC), from office, saying the appeals were “patently unmeritorious.”
The appeals which challenged the victory of Nwifuru as the valid winner of the state governorship poll held on March 18, 2023, were lodged by Chief Ifeanyi Odii, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Prof. Benard Odoh of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, (APGA).
