In a unanimous decision the panel led by Lekan Ogunmoye held that the petitioner failed to prove his allegation of over voting and non compliance with electoral act in the conduct of the election.
The Tribunal thereby dismissed the case and upheld the election of Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu as the winner of the election
