The Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Asaba, the Delta State capital, has thrown away the petition of Chief Great Ogboru, which challenged the election of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan.
The five-man panel, which was led by Justice B.S Mohammed, while delivering its 20-page judgment last week Monday, ruled that Chief Ogboru, who contested the governorship election on the platform of the Democratic Peoples’ Party (DPP), had failed to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the election that brought in Uduaghan was surrounded with irregularities, and, so, the court thereby dismissed the case in favour of Dr. Uduaghan.
