Breaking News: Oborevwori Wins at Supreme Court 


The Supreme Court seating in Abuja has declared Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori winner and Candidate of the People's Democratic Party PDP.

Court ruled on the party's governorship ticket in fevour of Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori,  Friday (today).

recall that a Federal High Court in Abuja presided by Justice Taiwo Taiwo on July 7, 2022, upheld Edevbie’s claims and voided Oborevwori’s nomination.

The court subsequently directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise Edevbie as the authentic PDP governorship candidate in the state for the 2023 elections.

The Appeal Court however took a different position. A three-man panel of the Court of Appeal set aside the sacking of Oborevwori as the PDP candidate in the 2023 governorship election in the state.

The panel led by Justice Peter Ige set aside Oborevwori’s sacking on the grounds that the lower court erred in law in reaching the conclusion that Oborevwori was not qualified to participate in the governorship primary election of the party on account of forgery and perjury.

However, the Supreme Court has affirmed Rt Sherrif Oborevworias the duly elected governorship candidate for the people Democratic party in Delta State.
