BREAKING: Supreme Court affirms Mbah’s election as Enugu governor

 The Supreme Court, on Friday, affirmed the election of Gov.
Peter Mbah of Enugu State.

 

Justice Mohammed Garba, who delivered the lead judgement,
described as mere allegation the statement that Mbah did not posses the
National Youth Service Corps, NYSC,A certificate.

 

The court resolved all the issues raised in the appeal
against the appellant.

 

The appellant, Chijioke Edeoga of the Labour Party, had
dragged INEC and Mbah before the court to challenge the decision of the Court
of Appeal which dismissed his case against the election of the governor.

 

The Lagos Division of the Appeal Court in its unanimous
decision, resolved all three issues argued against the appellant, Edeoga.

 

The three-member panel presided over by Justice Tani Hassan
held that the appellant failed to prove that the respondent was not qualified
to contest the governorship election.

 

On the allegation of over voting, Hassan, in her lead
judgment, held that the voters’ register was never placed before the lower
tribunal, stressing that failure to tender the voters” register before the
lower tribunal rendered the appeal inadmissible.
