The Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt has dismissed two appeals filed by Local Government Chairmen loyal to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The appeals, marked CA/PH/137M/2024 and CA/PH/145M/2024, were instituted by Enyiada Cookey-Gam and six others.
The appellants challenged the decisions of the High Court concerning the elongation of their tenure. However, the Court of Appeal, in its ruling on Monday, found the appeals to be without merit and consequently struck them out.
