A five-man panel of the Supreme Court has reserved judgment in the Kogi and Bayelsa States governorship elections appeals filed by Muritala Ajaka of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and Timipre Sylva of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Both Ajaka and Sylva challenged the declarations made by the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) on the outcome of the 2023 governorship elections in their respective states.
However, in a ruling on Monday, the Supreme Court said it reserved judgments in the appealed cases.
It would be recalled that Ajaka had appealed the judgment of a three-member tribunal that affirmed the election of Ahmed Usman Ododo of APC as governor of Kogi.
However, after the Appeal Court judgment in June, Ajaka alleged that the judgment was influenced by some irregularities and manipulations.
