The court of appeal in Abuja has affirmed the election of Hyacinth Alia as governor of Benue state.
Alia was declared the winner of the governorship election that was held in March.
The Catholic priest polled 473,933 votes to be declared winner by the electoral commission.
However, Titus Uba, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue, filed a petition challenging Alia’s victory.
