The court of Appeal sitting in Lagos, has upheld the election of Sheriff Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as the duly elected Governor of Delta State.
The three-member tribunal headed by Justice C. H. Ahuchaogu, in it’s judgment, affirmed the return of Oborevwori as the winner of the March 18, 2023 gubernatorial election in the state.
Not satisfied with the ruling, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Ovie OmoAgege headed to the appeal court.
Senator Omo-Agege said the Tribunal failed to reckon with the fundamental flaws in the March 18, 2023 governorship election that mortally rendered the declaration of the PDP, as the winner untenable.
The former Deputy senate President said: “It is a no-brainer that the Tribunal operated under a very challenging environment.
“It therefore ignored the unassailable evidence adduced to question the validity of lawful votes as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
But in a ruling on Friday, the Appellate court dismissed the appeal for lacking in merit.
