The Supreme Court, on Friday, affirmed the election victory of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State.
In a unanimous decision, a five-member panel of the apex court dismissed the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, to challenge the outcome of the governorship election held in the state on March 18th 2023.
The Supreme Court on Friday also affirmed the election of the Nasarawa State governor, Abdullahi Sule.
The appeal court had reinstated Sule and held that the tribunal wrongly relied on the evidence of eight of the PDP witnesses, whose statements on oath were not front-loaded alongside the petition.
Reading the lead judgement, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun held that the appeal lacks merit.
