The Benue State Local Government Election Petition Tribunal, convened at the NBA House in Abuja, is expected to announce its verdicts today, April 12, 2025, regarding the petitions filed after the October 5, 2024, local government elections.

The petitions cover multiple local government areas, including Gboko, Tarka, Makurdi, Gwer West, Gwer East, Guma, and Buruku.

These cases are among the most eagerly awaited, following months of legal debates and close examination of the election processes and outcomes.

LMSINT MEDIA notes that the tribunal was officially established to review appeals stemming from decisions made by the initial Local Government Election Petitions Tribunal.

Chaired by Justice Dennis Igyuse, with Justices Michael Ugar and Maimuna Ikwulono as members, the Appeal Tribunal was moved from Makurdi to Abuja in March 2025. This relocation was prompted by security concerns and a continuous strike by judiciary staff.
