Supporters of Gov. Fubara rejoice as the Appeal Court in Abuja has on this day, overturned the Federal High Court’s judgment concerning the Rivers State Local Government election.
In its ruling, the appellate court declared that the Federal High Court lacked the subject matter jurisdiction to entertain the suit filed by the 1st respondent, the All Progressives Congress (APC). Consequently, all orders issued by the lower court in its judgment were set aside.
This decision affirms the validity of the Rivers State Local Government election, bringing clarity to the legal disputes surrounding the matter.
