THE Court of Appeal in Lagos has affirmed the electoral victory of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori as the governor of Delta State.
Stonix News reports that Oborevwori, who was the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), at the March 18, 2023 governorship election was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He was declared winner as having secured 360,234 votes to defeat Obaisi Ovie Omo Agege of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who trailed behind with 240,229 votes.
It is also recalled that the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Asaba had earlier, on September 29, affirmed the victory of Oborevwori.
In its judgment, the three-member tribunal, led by Justice C.H. Ahuchaogu, had dismissed the petition filed by Senator Omo-Agege, for lack of merit.
Delivering judgement on Friday November 24, the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos upheld the tribunal verdict which affirmed the governorship victory of Oborevwori.
