BREAKING NEWS: Rivers Guber: Court of Appeals dismisses case against Mr. Hubala
The Lagos State Court of Appeal on Tuesday dismissed a petition filed by Mr. Tony Cole of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Siminarayi Hubara of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mr Tony-Cole wanted the Court of Appeal to direct the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare him the winner of the March gubernatorial election.
He told the court that Hubala was still signing papers as the state treasurer even after he was nominated as the PDP’s governorship candidate.
He also alleged fraud in the election.
The Rivers State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal had dismissed the petition in October, stating that the APC, which sponsored Tony Cole, had withdrawn its petition against Hubara’s victory.
Dissatisfied with the court’s decision, Tony Cole applied to the Court of Appeal.
