Kogi State Governor,
Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has described the judgments of the Court of Appeal
upholding his election for a second term in office as governor of Kogi State as
an affirmation of his landmark victory on November 16, 2019.
The appellate Court delivered
judgment Saturday evening in the appeals filed by the Action Peoples Party
(APP), the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), the Social Democratic Party (SDP)
and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) respectively against the corresponding
judgments of the Kogi State elections petitions tribunal which had last month
dismissed their various election petition petitions against the governor and
his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement by
Onogwu Muhammed, Chief Press Secretary, (CPS) to the governor, he said the 4
judgments by the court of appeal upholding his victory in the election and at
the Tribunal were validations of the historic mandate given to him by Kogi
people, adding that greater impetus has been given to his drive to do even more
for the State and her people.
The governor lauded
the 5-man panel which heard the matter for her uprightness while thanking the
entire citizens of the state for their support and prayers since the filing of
appeals by various individuals and parties.
The Governor noted
that “The rule of law once again came to the defense of democracy by affirming
the collective will of the people of Kogi State which was expressed in such
decisive fashion on the 16th of November, 2019."
Describing the quartet
of judgments as outstandingly and astoundingly thorough, Bello noted that
the judiciary remains the last hope of the common man.
While calling on all
Kogi indigenes to join his administration in moving the state forward, Governor
Bello reiterated his resolve to continue working for the unity of Kogi State by
running an all-inclusive administration characterized by open-door policies,
and visionary developmental milestones.
