Tribunal affirms Oborevwori as duly elected Delta gov

Election petition tribunal sitting in Delta State on Friday, dismissed the petition lodged by the All Progressives Congress candidate—APC, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege’s petition challenging the election of governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

The tribunal struck out the petition filed before it by Omo-Agege for lacking merit.

The three man tribunal headed by Justice C.H. Ahuchaogu-led upheld the return of Oborevwori as the winner of the March 18, 2023 governorship election in the state.

It ruled that the petitioners failed to prove allegations of non-compliance with the Electoral Act, and corrupt practices beyond a reasonable doubt.
