The Supreme Court today Monday August 31, 2020 in a unanimous judgement, dismissed the petition of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its candidate, Musa Wada against the declaration of Governor Yahaya Bello of All Progressives Congress, APC as the winner of November 16 2019 Kogi State governorship election.
In the lead judgment prepared by Justice Iyang Okoro, but delivered by Justice Abba Aji, the seven man panel of the court led by Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mohammed Tanko held that the appeal was devoid of merit.
The panel held that the petitioners abandoned their pleadings on their written briefs that the election was marred with irregularities at the lower courts.
The panel therefore ruled the petitioners failed to prove their allegations with results from the election and failed to prove that the respondent did not win majority votes in the election.
The apex court’s judgement it would be recalled, validated the prophecy of the leader of the INRI Evangelical Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, who days ago released a prophecy that Yahaya Bello will emerge victorious at the Supreme Court.
Primate Elijah Ayodele had said; even though the People Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC) are struggling with but at the end of the day, APC will become victorious
‘In Kogi State, PDP and APC are struggling but at the end of the day, Yahaya Bello and APC will win it”, he had prophesied.
