On Friday, the Lagos Appeal Court affirmed Francis Nwifuru’s victory as the elected governor of Ebonyi State in the March 18 gubernatorial election.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) member’s win was upheld, with the three-member panel of the State and National Assembly Appeal Court, led by Justice Jummai Sankey, dismissing the appeal by Chukwuma Odii of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
