Breaking News: Court Of Appeal Nullifies Uduaghan's Election, Orders Fresh Gove by kieskies(m): 9:47pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
The Federal Appeals Court in Benin City, Edo State, late afternoon annulled the election of Delta State governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, and ordered fresh gubernatorial election in the state within 90 days. The decision followed the appeal brought by Mr. Great Ogboru against Governor Uduaghan, who has governed the state since 2007. The appeal panel earlier dismissed the petition brought by the AC candidate, Okocha, where he sought the nullification of Uduaghan's election because of his exclusion from the 2007 election by the Independent National Electoral Commissiony (INEC). The Edo State capital erupted in jubilation over the verdict. Pending the ordered elections, the Speaker of the House of Assembly will step in as "Acting governor". |
