The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Sandy Onor, suffered a huge blow on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, when their challenge against the election of Bassey Otu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was dismissed..
The court decided for Bassey Otu, excusing the PDP’s appeal on grounds of absence of legitimacy.
Sandy Onor had challenged the announcement of Bassey Otu by the Autonomous Public Appointive Commission (INEC) as the champ of the Walk 18 survey in the South state.
INEC’s true outcomes demonstrated that Bassey Otu got a sum of 258,619 votes, while Sandy Onor followed with 179,636 votes.
