Election Tribunal: PDP, Odii To Call 60 Witnesses Against Nwifuru

The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, has said that he will present at least 60 witnesses against the victory of Francis Nwifuru.

The petitioners made this known on Friday during a pre-hearing trial of the state election petition tribunal in Abuja.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Nwifuru of the All Progressives Congress (APC) the winner of the governorship poll conducted in the state.

Nwifuru garnered a total of 199,131 votes across the 13 local governments in the state to defeat his closest challenger, Ifeanyi Odii, who got a total of 80,191 votes.

Odii and PDP, first and second petitioners, respectively, had challenged the declaration of Nwifuru as the winner of the election.
