BEVERLY HILLS, December 23, (THEWILL) – The Court of Appeal will on Thursday morning at 10.am. in Abuja deliver its verdict in the appeal seeking to upturn the election of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa as Governor of Delta State.
The court had earlier Wednesday opted to deliver the judgment on Wednesday evening but that decision was reversed for undisclosed reason(s). “The judgment will be delivered on Thursday at 10.am. as previously communicated to the parties involved,” our source at the court, who opted to be anonymous, said.
The Court of Appeal which earlier sat in Benin City, Edo State to hear the appeal had reserved judgment and moved to its Abuja Headquarter to deliver its verdict in the suit filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Olorogun O’ tega Emerhor; and the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Chief Great Ogboru.
The candidates want the election annulled.
Deltans and stakeholders are tensed as they await the verdict.
