Delta Guber Election: Appeal Court Reserves Judgment in Omo-Agege, Pela, Gbagi’s Appeals
The State and National Assembly Appeal Court sitting in Lagos has reserved judgment in three appeals by the governorship candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ovie Omo-Agege; Social Democratic Party (SDP), Chief Kenneth Gbagi and Labour Party (LP), Kennedy Pela, challenging the election of the People Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) Sheriff Oborevwori as Delta State Governor.
The three-member panel presided over by Justice Hamma Akawu Barka, leading Justice Joseph Olubunmi Oyewole and Justice Hadiza Shagari, reserved its decision after taking arguments from counsel for all the parties.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Oborevwori as the winner after he polled 360,234 votes, as against former Deputy Senate President Omo-Agege’s 240,229.
Dissatisfied, PDP, SDP and LP challenged the declaration.
But Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Asaba affirmed the election of Oborevwor, saying the opposing petitions lacked merit and failed to prove their allegations of over-voting, non-compliance with the Electoral Act and over-voting.
