High Court Disqualifies Delta PDP Guber Candidate, Oborevwori

On Thursday, the Federal High Court in Abuja barred the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, nominee Sherrif Oborevwori from running for governor of Delta State in 2023.

The court, in a decision issued by Justice Taiwo Taiwo, ruled that Oborevwori lacked the legal capacity to vote in the election.

Mr. Olorogun Edevbie, an aggrieved member of the party, filed a lawsuit in court, which resulted in the verdict.

The Plaintiff had among other things, contended that the Defendant was not validly nominated by his party.

He told the court that PDP violated both its constitution and the Electoral Guidelines, during its state congress that produced Oborevwori as its flagbearer for the forthcoming gubernatorial election.

Consequently, the Plaintiff, prayed the court to restrain the party from forwarding Oborevwori’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and to also restrain the electoral body from receiving or recognising him as the duly nominated candidate of s the party for the election.

More so, the Plaintiff, sought an order to restrain Oborevwori from parading or carrying himself as the governorship candidate of the PDP in the state.

Also cited as Defendants in the matter were the PDP and INEC.

Meanwhile, in his judgement on Thursday, Justice Taiwo held that the suit was meritorious.

He accordingly granted the reliefs against Oborevwori.
