This online news platform learnt that the court held that the appeal lacked merit having resolved all issues formulated against the appellants in the suit.
In the same vein, the appellate court also dismissed the appeal by the Labour Party and its candidate, Achonu Nneji, and that of the Allied Peoples Movement for also lacking in merit.
The appellants who were dissatisfied with the tribunal Judgment, had approached the court of appeal on grounds that the November 11, 2023 election, was invalid because of non-compliance with the provision of the Electoral Act.

While delivering judgment, the court of appeal held that the appellants in their appeal, failed to prove the allegation of non-compliance as alleged.
The three-man panel led by Justice Bitrus Sanga also held that the appellants failed, to prove that the governor submitted a forged certificate.
