The Supreme Court of Nigeria has announced that it will deliver its long-awaited judgment on the 2024 Edo State Governorship Election on Thursday, July 10, 2025. This announcement comes after months of legal battles, appeals, and heightened political tension across the state.
The apex court’s decision is expected to bring closure to the contentious governorship race, which has seen competing claims from major political parties following the September 2024 election. The outcome of the judgment will determine whether the declared winner will retain the seat or if a rerun or overturn is on the horizon.
Security has been beefed up around key judicial institutions in Abuja, while political stakeholders and supporters await the verdict with bated breath. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), party leaders, and legal teams are expected to be present as the panel of justices delivers the final say in what has been a fiercely contested post-election legal process.
