The Supreme Court sitting in Abuja has affirmed the election of Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State as the duly elected governor.

In a unanimous judgment read by Justice Centus Nweze, the court held that the appeal filed by the candidate of the Labour Party, Edward Nkwegu, challenging the election lacked merit.

The Apex Court, however, fixed February 5, 2016 to enable it give reasons for dismissing the appeal.
