The Supreme Court in Abuja will today, Monday, January 15, hear the appeal filed by the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state, Patrick Tonye-Cole, against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Gatekeepers News reports that Tonye-Cole had filed an appeal against Fubara that he did not resign as Accountant General of the state within the deadline stipulated by the constitution and the Electoral Act.
