The Federal High Court in Abuja has disqualified the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta,
Mr Sherrif Oborevwori, from contesting the 2023 election.
Delivering the judgement in a suit filed by Mr Olorogun Edevbie, Justice Taiwo Taiwo held that Oborevwori lacked the legal competence to participate in the election.
Edevbie had approached the court following his grievance with the process that produced Oborevwori as the party’s governorship candidate.
It was his contention that the defendant was not validly nominated by his party.
He also held that the PDP violated both its constitutional and the electoral guidelines, during its state congress that produced Oborevwori as its flag bearer for the governorship election.
