Kogi Electoral Battle and the Opposition Rhetorics

Written by Adeku Omeiza Samuel  (National President, Kogi State Medical Student Association)  As the Supreme Court verdict approaches, the opposition's rhetoric implies a tacit acceptance of defeat. In my analysis, their claim was untenable from the outset. The SDP failed to secure the requisite 25% of votes in two-thirds of Kogi State's local government areas, rendering their claim invalid.
