The Supreme Court of Nigeria has affirmed Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori as the duly elected Governor of Delta State.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the apex court affirmed Rt Hon Oborevwori as the duly elected Governor of Delta on Friday.
This is after throwing out the appeals filed by Ken Pela, Kenneth Gbagi and Ovie Omo-Agege against the victory of Oborevwori.
TNG reports Justice Inyang Okoro read the lead judgement. The five-member panel was unanimous in their decision.
The panel held that the appeals filed against the victory of Oborevwori lacked merit.
Recall the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Oborevwori winner of the governorship election held in the State on March 18, 2023.
Oborevwori of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) polled 360,234 votes to win the governorship election ahead of Omo-Agege of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who secured 240,229 votes.
