BREAKING: Edo Tribunal Throws Out AA’s Petition Against Gov Okpebholo

The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja on Wednesday dismissed the petition filed by the Action Alliance (AA) seeking to nullify Governor Monday Okpebholo’s election.

A three-member panel led by Justice Wilfred Kpochi ruled that the petition, filed alongside AA’s National Chairman, Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, lacked merit.

The tribunal stated that the case revolved around pre-election matters, which were beyond its jurisdiction.

The petitioners had alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) unlawfully excluded their rightful candidate from the September 21, 2024, governorship election.

They also claimed that INEC disregarded court rulings by recognising a candidate who was not validly nominated by the party.
