 With a split decision of 4-3, the Supreme Court has upheld the victory of Oluwa Rotimiakere-Dulu of the all-progressive Congress in the last governorship election in Onder State. In the majority judgment delivered by Justice Emmanuel Aghim, four of the seven-member panel dismissed their appeal by Iitai Ojagede and his party, the People's Democratic Party, on the grounds that it was incompetent. Justice Aghim upheld an earlier judgment of the Court of Appeal. Ojagede and the PDP failed to include the chairman of the Kiataka Committee of the APC, Maimala Bhuni, as a party to the suit.
