The Social Democratic Party and its candidate in the November 16, 2019 governorship election in Kogi State, Natasha Akpoti failed on Monday in their bid to unseat Governor Yahaya Bello.
Justice Ovbiagele was of the view that the petitioners merely dumped their exhibits on the tribunal without demonstrating them before the court and linking them to the specific part of their case as required. Justice Ovbiagele added that the witnesses “are all doubtful illogical and some instances patently unreasonable.”
He dismissed the petitioners’ allegation of age falsification against Bello and his running mate, on the grounds that they failed to prove that either Bello or his running mate was less than 35 years old as when the election held.
