The Supreme Court has rejected the appeal made by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) against the victory of Siminalayi Fubara as governor of Rivers State.
The apex court also postponed its decision on the appeal presented by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Patrick Tonye-Cole.
During the proceedings, Innocent Kere, the counsel for APM and its candidate, chose to withdraw the appeal, resulting in its dismissal by the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, a five-member panel led by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun has postponed its decision on the appeal filed by Tonye-Cole and the APC after all parties involved in the case presented their arguments.
It is worth noting that the lower courts had previously dismissed all appeals against Fubara and upheld his election.
