Members of the Social Democratic Party and supporters of its governorship candidate in the November 11, 2023 Kogi election, Murtala Yakubu Ajaka are currently in a jubilation mood.
This followed the testimony of a representative of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court at the Kogi Election Tribunal that Governor Usman Ahmed Ododo’s affidavit was fake and did not emanate from the court.
You will recall that Ajaka sued Ododo for certificate forgery as part of the electoral matter before the tribunal, which sought invalidation of his election.
The SDP candidate had avowed that the age declaration attached to Ododo’s document was forged, insisting that it was issued on a non-working day, Saturday, August 2, 2003.
At the resumed proceeding today, an FCT High Court witness appeared to confirm the status of the certificate.
The matter of election is currently ongoing simultaneously with that of certificate forgery.
