The Court of Appeal sitting in Makurdi in Benue State today upheld the victory of a former senate president, David Mark, as earlier pronounced by the lower National Assembly Election Tribunal by Justice Oyebisi Omaleye who led the three-man panel struck out the case brought before it by the APC’s candidate Daniel Onjeh for lacking merit. 

The panel dismissed the petition filed by the appellant (Onjeh) for filing his petition out of time as required by the electoral law therefore, rendering the petition incompetent and so, the “appeal is dismissed”.
According to Omoleye, the appellant petition was filed on the 22nd day of declaration of the election result by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) which affirmed Mark of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as senator representing Benue South Senatorial District. (pix of mark)
