The Supreme Court on Thursday reserved judgment in the appeal challenging the election of Cross River State Governor, Bassey Otu.
The five-member panel, led by Justice Inyang Okoro, deferred its decision after hearing arguments from both sides.
However, sources within the court hinted that a verdict is expected on Friday, following judgments in the appeals for Kano, Plateau, and Zamfara states.
The legal battle stems from a petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) governorship candidate, Senator Sandy Onor, contesting Otu’s victory on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Onor’s argument centred on two claims: that Otu’s presented certificate was forged and that his nomination for the March 18th election was invalid.
