Court of Appeal upholds the Election of Samuel Ortom as the Governor of the State...(Details)



                          Governor Samuel Ortom


According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Terhemen Tarzoor, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had asked the court to reverse the tribunal’s judgment and declare him winner of the April governorship election in the state, based on the fact that the tribunal erred in its judgment because Ortom was not qualified to contest in the election.
Ortom, according to Tarzoor, was not validly nominated by the ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC) to stand for the election and the PDP man had asked the appellate court to set aside the tribunal’s judgment which had dismissed his petition for lack of merit.
