Dismisses APC’s Suit
The Supreme Court has re-affirmed Sheriff Oborevwori of the PDP as the duly elected Governor of Delta State in the 18th March Governorship poll.
Recall that INEC had declared the former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly winner with 360234 votes against his closest challenger and ex-Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege of the APC who scored 240,229 votes.
Earlier, the tribunal and Appeal Court had separately dismissed the petitions.
Justice Inyang John Okoro JSC upheld the concurrent decisions of the lower Courts that the appeal/petition brought by the APC & Ovie Omo-Agege was unmeritorious.
The Apex Court held that the appellant was unable to prove his case of over-voting and noncompliance with the electoral laws.
On similar grounds, the Supreme Court also dismissed the appeal brought by SDP & her Candidate, Kenneth Gbagi.
