Peter Mbah Won Enugu Governorship Poll, Appeal Court Declares

•Dismantles LP Candidate's Petition 

The Court of Appeal, Lagos, presided over by Justice Tijani Yusuf Hassan, on Friday, confirmed the victory of the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, in the March 18 governorship election.

The upper court also threw out the appeal instituted by the Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate, Chijioke Edeoga, as lacking in merit, just as it upheld the judgment of the Enugu Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal delivered in September. 

In a unanimous decision of the three-man panel of the Court of Appeal, the appellant failed to prove that Mbah forged his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate and was not qualified to contest the election.
