In a unanimous decision, the panel held that it took time to look at the appeal and held that there was substantial compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act.

The Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Asaba had on September 29, upheld Oborevwori as the winner of the March 18, governorship election.

Judgment of Kenneth Gbagi of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) is ongoing…
