The Supreme Court sitting in
Abuja has upheld the election of Atai Aidoko Ali as the Senator representing
Kogi East in the National Assembly.
In a unanimous decision delivered
today by Justice Eko, the Apex court faulted and dismissed the appeal filed by
Isaac Alfa challenging the decision of the Court of Appeal that had earlier
declared Ali winner.
The Justices also faulted the
decision of the Federal High Court which sacked Ali from the red chambers;
stressing serious anomalies which included lack of jurisdiction.
They also warned politicians to
stick to the rules of their respective political parties; rather than inundate
the Apex court with issues ordinarily deemed as intra-party affairs.
Although, no cost was awarded
against the Alfa as penalty for misnomer and abuse of court processes, the
Justices laid to rest all litigation surrounding the election of Senator Atai
Ali Aidoko.
