The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Minna on Wednesday upheld the election of Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State.
The petitioners alleged that the duo presented forged academic and declaration of age certificates to INEC, which was the crux of their case.
Mr Igboji also said that the tribunal cannot sit as an appellate court on an issue already decided by the Federal High Court. “In the circumstance we accordingly hold that the petitioners are not entitled to any relief sought, their petition being bereft of any merit and the petition is hereby dismissed for lack of merit.
Mr Ndayako noted that the petitioners would carefully study the judgment before deciding on the next line of action.
