JUST IN: Supreme Court affirms Oborevwori as Delta gov, dismisses Omo-Agege’s case

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the election of Sheriff Oborevwori as the duly elected governor of Delta State.

In a unanimous decision, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court dismissed an appeal brought before it by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege to challenge the outcome of the governorship election held on March 18, 2023.

The court, in its lead judgement that was delivered by Justice Inyang Okoro, held that the appeal lacked merit.
