Omo-Agege’s petition against Oborevwori is denied by the tribunal.

The petition presented before the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal by the All Progressives Congress candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, contesting the election of Governor Sheriff Oborevwor, was dismissed on Friday for lack of merit.

In its ruling, the three-member tribunal panel led by Justice C.H. Ahuchaogu confirmed that Oborevwori had won the state’s governor election on March 18, 2023.

The tribunal determined that the petitioners had not established their claims of corrupt practices and noncompliance with the Electoral Act beyond a reasonable doubt.
