Nigeria: Edo tribunal dismisses AA’s petition against Okpebholo’s election — Africa Links 24

The Edo Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed the petition of the Action Alliance, AA, against Gov. Monday Okpebholo and the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Delivering judgment on Wednesday in Abuja, the tribunal dismissed the petition filed by AA and Adekunle Omoaje for being frivolous and lacking in merit.

The three-member tribunal led by Justice Wilfred Kpochi held that Omoaje who filed the joint petition had no locus standi (legal right) to institute the case.
