Abraham Ibukun Eunice, Abuja.

Immediately after the general elections, Mr Henry T Abimbola has petitioned the victory of Hon. Elder Leke Abejide who was elected as the member to represent the people of Yagba Federal Constituency,  at the tribunal,  Mr Abimbola who was a co-contender during the  election of  the House of Representative Yagba Federal Constituency seat under the All Progressive Congress (APC) thereby approached a tribunal court seating in Abuja to petition and challenge the victory of Hon. Elder Leke Abejide the candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the winner of the Yagba House of Representative election.

Mr Abimbola who is challenging the outcome of the Feb. 23 national assembly polls, had alleged gross irregularities in the conduct of the election.

After the court hearing at the tribunal the case was dismissed because his case  lacks substantial evidence and has no merit grounds in his favor.

Afterwards,  Henry.T. Abimbola  filed for an appeal, the final verdict of the appeal was decided today, where his case suffered yet another down troll in court, as the judge dismissed his case against the African Democratic Congress ADC candidate for lack of merit.

The victory came in favour of Hon. Elder Leke who has been declared as the legitimate winner of during the polls. He said the declaration of INEC stands, as Hon. Leke is the winner during the Elections and should remain, as proclaimed by the presiding judge.
As at today, Hon. Elder Leke Abejide stands tall as the member representing Yagba Constituency at the green chambers.
