Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has dismissed petition filed by SDP candidate at the last Kogi state Governorship elections Natasha Akpoti.
The Petition challenging the victory of Governor Yahaya Bello in the November 16, 2019 governorship election in the state was struck out on the basis that it was a failed petition.
Ruling over the petition filed by SDP, the Justice Kaigama Kashim led tribunal held that the petition failed woefully.
The three man tribunal however directed that the cost of N100,000 be paid by each of the two petitioners to each of the three respondents – the Independent National Electoral Commission, the APC, and Bello.
The total costs to be paid by the petitioners amount to N600,000.
