BREAKING NEWS: SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS MIMIKO’S ELECTORAL VICTORY

The Supreme Court has affirmed the re-election victory of Ondo state governor Olusegun Mimiko.

The apex court today in Abuja equally dismissed the petition of Rotimi Akeredolu of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria ( ACN), as well as Olusola Oke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The judgement of the Presiding Judge, Justice Murktar, has it that only two out of the five issues for determination in Akeredolu’s appeal are valid.

The judge added that the appellant failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt criminal allegation of connivance in injection of names.

“When a mercenary expert presents evidence, the court has the right to disregard. ACN’s appeal dismissed and parties to bear costs,” the judge said.
