Appeal Court Upholds Omo-Agege’s Delta Central Senatorial Election Victory

The appeal court sitting in Benin city, on Monday upheld the victory of the Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege against the petition filed by Evelyn Oboro of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for lack of merit.

A unanimous judgement by the three-man panel led by Jaro Adamu set aside the claims by the petitioner and her party as it concerns Delta central senatorial district. They said having studied very carefully the petition by the applicants against the respondent, they came to the submission that the petition lacked merit and therefore set aside.

Counsel to the Deputy Senate president,Selekeowe Larry, SAN, while speaking to newsmen said, the judgment by the Appeal Court has further rekindled the hope of the common man who may want to seek legal redress anytime, anyway.
