Appeal Court Affirms Fubara As Elected Governor Of Rivers State
November 28, 2023, NewsOrient
The Court of Appeal, sitting in Lagos State, on Tuesday affirmed the election of Siminalayi Fubara as the Governor of Rivers State.
All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, and it’s Governorship candidate, Patrick Tonye-Cole, had petitioned against the announcement of Fubara of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the Winner of Rivers State Governorship Election and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). But the Court of Appeal dismissed the petition.
It would be recalled that the petition against Fubara’s election as governor was initially dismissed by the Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in October.
