The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) challenging the victory of Siminalayi Fubara as the governor of Rivers State.
This dismissal comes as the apex court reserves judgment on the appeal presented by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Patrick Tonye-Cole.
During the proceedings, Innocent Kere, the counsel for the APM and its candidate in the last state gubernatorial election, opted to withdraw the appeal, leading to its dismissal by the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, a five-member panel led by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun has reserved judgment on the appeal filed by Tonye-Cole and the APC after all parties in the suit adopted their briefs of arguments.
It is noteworthy that the lower courts had previously dismissed all appeals against Fubara and upheld his election.
