November 3, 2022All is currently not well in the Delta State Peoples Democratic Party, even after the legal battle over the party's governorship primaries between David Edevbie, former chief of staff to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the state Assembly speaker, Sheriff Oborevwori, was decided by the Supreme Court in Abuja in favour of Oborevwori.
Also, conspicuously absent were; former deputy governors, Benjamin Elue, Amos Utuama, immediate past secretary to the state government , Chiedu Ebie, immediate past Attorney General and commissioner for Justice, Peter Mrakpor, former Assembly speakers, Monday Igbuya and Peter Onwusanya, former commissioners in the state, Clement Ofuani, Judith Enamuotor, Mercy Almona-Ise and Frank Omare.
A Federal High Court in Abuja presided by Justice Taiwo Taiwo on July 7, 2022, upheld Edevbie’s claims and voided Oborevwori’s nomination. The panel led by Justice Peter Ige set aside Oborevwori’s sacking on the grounds that the lower court erred in law in reaching the conclusion that Oborevwori was not qualified to participate in the governorship primary election of the party on account of forgery and perjury.
