The Court of Appeal in Abuja has nullified the judgment of the Federal High Court concerning the Rivers State local government elections.
The Appeal Court ruled that the Federal High Court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the suit filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC), which was the first respondent in the case.
Consequently, all orders and decisions made by the Federal High Court regarding the matter have been set aside.
This decision reaffirms the validity of the Rivers State local government election and overturns the earlier ruling that sought to challenge it.
