The Supreme Court has dismissed Ovie Omo-Agege’s appeal seeking to overturn Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s election as governor of Delta State.
In a unanimous decision, a five-member panel of the apex court dismissed an appeal the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Omo-Agege, filed to challenge the outcome of the governorship election that held in the state on March 18, 2023.
The apex court held that the appellant was unable to prove his case of over-voting and noncompliance with the electoral laws.
The court, in its lead judgement that was delivered by Justice Inyang Okoro, held that the appeal lacked merit.
The apex court has also dismissed the appeal of the SDP candidate against Governor Oborevwori.
