Breaking: Court upholds Hyacinth Alia's election as Benue governor and rejects PDP's Uba challenge

This development defeats the PDP's legal appeal by confirming Hyacinth Alia's legitimacy as Benue State's governor.The People's Democratic Party's (PDP) nominee for governor, Titus Uba, filed an appeal, but the Court of Appeal in Abuja dismissed it with a unanimous decision.The goal of the appeal was to contest Hyacinth Alia's election as Benue State's legitimately elected governor.All three of the claims brought out for resolution against Uba and the PDP were decided in the lead judgment, which was delivered by Justice Onyekachi Otisi, for different reasons. The claim of non-qualification made by Uba against Samuel Ode, the deputy governor, was one of the primary topics discussed.
