Meanwhile, on September 23, 2023, in the city of Makurdi, the Benue State Governorship Elections concluded with a decision that dismissed the petition brought forward by Titus Uba from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The court ruled that the current winner of the election is Governor Hyacinth Alia, who represents the All Progressive Congress (APC).
The court’s decision to reject Uba and the PDP’s petitions was based on the fact that it didn’t have the authority or power to address the issues raised by the petitioners in a legal setting.
