Appeal Court Upholds Oborevwori’s Election as Governor

The Court of Appeal has upheld the election victory of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the Delta State governorship poll conducted on March 18.

The judgment, delivered on Friday, comes nearly two months after the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal affirmed Oborevwori’s victory.

The 3-member tribunal, led by Justice C. H. Ahuchaogu, dismissed the petition filed by the former deputy president of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The tribunal held that the petition contained unsubstantiated allegations, emphasizing that it lacked merit and was speculative.
