Ebonyi State Governor-elect, Francis Nwifuru, has joined the league of jubilant state governors that emerged winners of the 2023 gubernatorial election as the Supreme Court affirms his victory.
In what can be described as a day of reckoning for all litigations and cases surrounding last year’s gubernatorial elections, Nwifuru has become the latest governor-elect to be the confirmed winner by the Supreme Court’s decision.
Recall that the apex court had, on Monday, reserved judgement after parties involved engaged in argument which could not be resolved immediately.
Prior to the Supreme Court’s decision, the Court of Appeal in Lagos had earlier affirmed Nwifuru’s victory over People’s Democratic Party’s candidate, Chukwuma Odii.
