Abuja Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal by unsatisfied Dino Melaye, against the election of Senator Smart Adeyemi as he topped in the last election in Kogi West Senatorial District.
Chaired by Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, a three-man panel of the court, unanimously resolved all seven issues, identified for determination, against the appellant (Melaye).
The panel upheld the judgment delivered on June 10, 2020 by the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal, which affirmed the declaration of Adeyemi as winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The appellate court, which struck out Adeyemi’s preliminary objection, awarded N50, 000 costs against Melaye and in favour of the respondents.
Also , the court dismissed the cross-appeal by Adeyemi and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and awarded N50, 000 cost against them.
