Tribunal Affirms  Election of Sheriff Oborevwori as Delta State Governor

The Election Petition Tribunal has affirmed Sheriff Oborevwori as the governor of Delta State.

Tribunal dismissed the petition of All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate Ovie Omo-Agege in his bid to overturn the March 18 governorship election victory of Oborevwori.

Justice C.H Ahuchaogu, in a four-hour judgement, held that the petitioner could not prove the case of substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act against the Governor (second respondent).

Ahuchaogu also ruled that the petitioner failed to prove that Governor Oborevwori was not duly elected by the majority of lawful votes cast.
