The Supreme Court is set to deliver judgment in the disputes over the last governorship election in five states today, January 19.
This is coming a week after the court ruled on the governorship election tussle in nine states, including Kano and Plateau, whose governors, Abba Kabir Yusuf and Caleb Mutfwang, were earlier sacked by the Court of Appeal.
The five states whose governorship disputes would be judged today are: Ogun, Kebbi, Gombe, Nasarawa, Delta.
The governors facing legal suits seeking their sacks include Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, Muhammad Yahaya of Gombe, Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, and Nasir Idris of Kebbi state.
All the governors, except Sule of Nasarawa, have secured victory at the Court of Appeal and their state governorship election tribunals.
