The appellate court upheld the judgement of the election tribunal which had earlier affirmed Gov Ayade, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as the winner of the election.
The five-man panel of judges in a unanimous decision dismissed the petition of the factional candidate of the All Progressive Congress and former Minister for Niger Delta, Usani Usani, and upheld the judgment of the lower tribunal, which had ruled that Usani’s petition lacked merit.
