A Federal High Court in Abuja will tomorrow hear the suit challenging whether the Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello, is fit to contest for the Nov. 16 governorship election in the state.
The originating summon, which is instituted by the Social Democratic Party (SDP)’s governorship candidate, Natasha Akpoti, will be entertain before Justice Inyang Ekwo.
The suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1221/2019, filed by Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, on Akpoti’s behalf, sought the court’s determination on the eligibility of Governor Bello in the Saturday election, having allegedly involved in double registration as a voter.
Akpoti said “that by his wilful act of making double registration as a voter, Yahaya Bello is not fit and proper person to be allowed by INEC to vote or be voted for in the forthcoming Kogi state governorship election, having committed act of electoral fraud.
“That such a person is not a fit and proper person to vote for in any election, let alone for the high office of the governor of a state.”
