A three-member panel of judges headed by Kudirat Akano, on Thursday, dismissed the petition by the Labour Party governorship candidate, Chijioke Edeoga, for being incompetent.

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has restated his commitment to end water scarcity in the state within 68 days. He stated this shortly after his victory at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in the state.

It ruled that the PDP candidate was already qualified, even without submitting the NYSC certificate, adding that the NYSC certificate was not a requirement for qualification to contest the office of the governor in line with Sections 177 and 138 of the 1999 Constitution.Reacting via a post on his verified X handle , Mr Mbah said the outcome of the tribunal judgment was a victory for “massive development and exponential growth” for Enugu people.

PREMIUM TIMES reports that water scarcity in Enugu has been a recurring problem for decades despite successive state governments and international organisations’ huge financial investments. As a result, residents of the state rely largely on hand-dug wells for water, which usually dry up during the dry season. This worsens the scarcity yearly, usually between December and March in the state.Mr Mbah lauded the tribunal for “painstakingly dissecting the petitions brought before them” and delivering judgment that “resonates” with the people of Enugu State.
