The Supreme Court in Abuja today upheld the election of Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State.

The court dismissed the appeals filed by Barrister Rotimi Akeredolu of the Action Congress of Nigeria and Barrister Olusola Oke of the Peoples Democratic Party, challenging the victory of Mimiko as the winner of the October 20, 2012 governorship election in Ondo State.

In the lead judgments, one of which was read by Justice Mary Odili, the Supreme Court said the petitioners lacked grounds for seeking the court’s intervention in pronouncing Mimiko not duly elected.

Mimiko stood for the election on the platform of the Labour Party.
