The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by Ikie Aghwarianovwe, seeking the disqualification of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for allegedly

Right from the grounds of appeal to the prominent issue of jurisdiction and now to the merit itself, the appeal was dead on arrival, with zero chance of success.
