After many months of legal battle, the Supreme Court has affirmed governor Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress, APC as winner of the off cycle election held in Kogi State on November 11, 2023.
This follows the dismissal of the appeal of Murtala Ajaka, candidate of the social Democratic party SDP who challenged the outcome of the election.
In a unanimous judgment, the Apex Court upheld the decision of the Court of Appeal which on 27 May affirmed the election of Ododo.
The Apex Court panel of judges said the allegation of substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act was not proven by the SDP governorship candidate.
It further noted that allegations of age falsification and certificate forgery are pre-election matters, noting it is the Federal High Court that has jurisdiction to hear such.
