The Rivers State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja has dismissed the petition filed by Beatrice Itubo, the Labour Party’s governorship candidate in Rivers State.
Truth Live News reports that this development comes after the Labour Party candidate filed a petition contesting Fubara’s win.
Following the submission of final written arguments and presentations from all parties, the tribunal, presided over by Justice Cletus Emifonye, issued a ruling on Monday, dismissing the Labour Party’s petition, citing its lack of merit and failure to substantiate the allegations.
Recall that Simnalayi Fubara emerged victorious in the governorship election with 302,614 votes, defeating his other rivals in the March 18 gubernatorial election.
