The Court also awarded a cost of N100,000 against APP which asked for nullification of Bello’s victory over claims that it was unlawfully excluded from the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC.
The appellate court also dismissed the appeal filed by the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP) against Governor Bello’s victory in the November 2019 governorship election.
