Giving the ruling, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, set aside the judgement of the Appeal Court which nullified the election of Governor Wike.It was a unanimous judgement by a seven-man panel of the apex court which also affirmed the election of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as the duly elected Governor of Ogun State and Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State.
