Alhaji Yahaya Bello has been confirmed by the Supreme Court of Nigeria as the duly elected governor of Kogi state.
In a unanimous judgment, the apex court dismissed the appeal filed by Hon. James Faleke, the running mate to late Abubakar Audu, the initial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and a former Governor of the State, Captain Idris Wada, who was also the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the election.
The court said it will give reasons for its judgment on September 30, 2016. [myad]
