The Court of Appeal in Abuja will deliver judgment tomorrow on the one-year tenure extension for the governors of Kogi, Cross River, Adamawa, Bayelsa, and Sokoto States by the federal court.
In February, the Federal High Court stopped elections in the five states, declaring that the polls which brought the five governors to office in the first place were void. The ruling set new but separate dates in 2012 for the end of the tenures of the five governors.
The affected governors went to court to challenge the electoral body's decision to conduct governorship elections in their states this year, insisting that their tenures only began after they won the re-run elections in their various states.
