The supreme Court has dismissed a suit filed by a member of the People’s Democractic Party (PDP) Mister Trever Kakih , challenging the election of Dr Gabriel Suswam as the Governor of Benue State.
The judgment delivered by Justics Sulieman Galadima, who headed a seven-man panel of justices of the Apex Court held in Kakih’s appeal lacks merit and was consequently thrown out.
And while the court upheld the concurrent judgement of the Federal High Court and the appellate courts.
The court held the appellant, failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the criminal allegation of certificate forgery against the Governor which the Justices of the Supreme Court deemed as lacking merit and therefore dismissed the suit.
Mister Kakih has contested for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) primaries alongside Governor Suswam in 2011 but lost and dragged the Governor to the Federal High Court in Makurdi, alleging that he was not qualified to stand for the election under the platform of the PDP.
