Supreme Court dismisses an appeal lodged against Fayose in Ekiti

The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal that was lodge against Governor Fashose of Ekiti State  by the APC.

The challenge against Fayose was that his election victory lacked merit, and that Fayose tendered forged Higher National Diploma Certificate to the INEC.

 A seven-man panel of Justices of the apex court led by Justice John Fabiyi, maintained that the APC failed to prove its allegation that the election was fraught anomalies, adding that the allegation that Fayose tendered forged Higher National Diploma Certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was not proved beyond every reasonable doubt

While upholding the concurrent judgements of both the Ekiti State Governorship Tribunal and the Court of Appeal which had earlier affirmed Fayose’s victory, the apex court, further stressed that the respondent (Fayose) was not validly impeached in 2006.
