The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State.

In a judgement a moment ago, the court dismissed the appeal filed by Professor Sandy Onor and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with which they sought to sack Governor Otu of the APC.

Justice Helen Ogunwumiju, in the lead judgment, held that the appellants failed to prove their case.

Justice Ogunwumiju proceeded to affirm the concurrent judgments of the election tribunal and Court of Appeal, which affirmed Otu’s election.
