The three-man panel of the Tribunal led by Justice Ofem Ofem dismissed the petition by Maj. Gen. Aminu Bande (retd) of the PDP for lacking in merit.

The tribunal held that the petitioner could not substantiate their allegations of forgery and non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.
