The Court of Appeal sitting in Makurdi, capital of Benue state, has nullified the victory of David Mark, former senate president, in the March 28 election.Daniel Onjeh, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had asked the election tribunal to upturn Mark’s victory but the tribunal ruled in favour of the 5-time lawmaker and only Nigerian to have presided over the senate for a record of eight years. Dissatisfied, Onjeh approached the appellate court, which granted his prayer and ordered that fresh election be conducted within 90 days.
