The three-member panel of the tribunal headed by C.H Ahuchaogu, had, in July, held that “the petition was incompetent” and constituted “a flagrant violation of…Electoral Act 2022.”Dissatisfied with the decision, Mr Pela approached the Court of Appeal, urging it to compel the tribunal to hear his suit on its merit.READ ALSO:The governor scored 360,234 votes to beat his closest challenger, Ovie Omo-Agege of the All Progressives Party , who scored 240,229.
