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 the Labour Party (LP)’s, Kennedy Pela, challenging the election of the People Democratic Party (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 to 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, the PDP, SDP, and LP challenged the declaration.
But the 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.
