In a judgment delivered on Tuesday by the seven-member panel led by the Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Tanko Muhammad, dismissed the application.

The court had earlier in the day stood down judgment after counsel to parties to the suit had made their final submissions.

Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress remains in office as winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship poll in the state.
