Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia and his deputy, Sam Ode, have stormed the Supreme Court of Nigeria in Abuja as it is set to hear the appeals filed against the governorship elections of Benue and Ebonyi States.
A five-man panel of Justices, led by Justice John Okoro, will preside over the proceedings.
In Benue State, the focus will be on the appeal filed by Titus Uba, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, who is challenging the victory of Governor Hyacinth Alia of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Alia is seeking the court to uphold the decision of the Court of Appeal Abuja, which affirmed his election in March 2023.
