The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Wednesday, validated the re-election of Senator Patrick Abba Moro of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of Justices, said it was satisfied that Moro was the valid winner of the senatorial election that held in Benue South on February 25.

In the lead judgement that was delivered by Justice Onyekachi Aja Otisi, the appellate court further dismissed Onjeh’s allegation that Senator Moro tendered a forged birth certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in aid of his qualification to contest the senatorial poll. “The allegation was a mere speculation. There was no forged document for the 1st Respondent to defend. No document, either original or photocopy was produced to prove the alleged forgery.
