The National and State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Benin City has dismissed the petition filed by Barr Omosede Igbinedion for lack of merit.
She had asked the tribunal to declare her winner of the election on grounds that Idahosa was not qualified to contest the election being a Canadian citizen and did not resign his appointment with the Federal Ministry of Environment. Chairman of the tribunal, Justice O. Ogundana, said Omosede failed to prove allegations of over over voting, forgery and falsification of results.
On the issue of non-qualification by Idahosa on allegations on being a Canadian citizen, the tribunal held that the petitioners failed to show any prove of the allegation as the witness called did not testify regarding the allegation.The tribunal ruled that Idahosa proved that he is a Nigerian by birth by presenting his International Passport and proved that he resigned his appointment as a board member of the National Agency for Great Green Wall .
