Kogi Central Senatorial: Again Akpoti floors APC’s Ohere at Appeal Court

Kogi Central Senatorial: Again Akpoti floors APC’s Ohere at Appeal Court

The Abuja division of the Court of Appeal on Tuesday upheld Natasha Akpoti-Uduagan as the winner of the Kogi Central Senatorial election.

In its ruling on Tuesday, the court dismissed the appeal filed by Abubakar Ohere for lack of merit.

PoliticsNow recalls that the Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Lokoja had in September nullified the victory of Ohere of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the Kogi Central Senatorial Election.

The court further declared Natasha Akpoti-Uduagan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the actual winner of the February senatorial poll.

However, Ohere had headed to the appellate court to seek redress, but the court further upheld Akpoti-Uduagan as the winner of the election.
