Timipre Sylva of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had challenged the victory of Dickson after losing the governorship election last year.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Dickson, winner of the election, announcing that he polled 134,998 votes to defeat Sylva, a former governor of the state, who scored 86,852 votes to place second.
Sylva had asked the tribunal to declare him the duly elected as governor, after tendering the evidence of a video showing electoral malpractice allegedly perpetrated by the Dickson and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

On his part, counsel to Dickson, Aliu Umar praised the tribunal for its judgement on the matter. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
