By Ganiyat Ganiyu

The Supreme Court on Friday, May 12, upheld the election of Abia state governor, Okozie Ikpeazu as the governor-elect of Abia State.

The supreme court had reserved ruling on applications relating to the Abia State governorship tussle for  today, May 12.

Mr. Samson Ogah, had approached the Supreme Court to challenge the August 18, 2016 ruling of the Appeal Court.

The appellate court reversed a previous judgement by the Abuja division of the Federal High Court that declared Mr. Ogah the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the 2015 governorship election, instead of Okezie Ikpeazu who ran and won the election.
