Supreme Court Dismisses Suit Seeking Disqualification Of Delta Governor, Oborevwori, Slams N6million Fine On AppellantIkie, a Delta State PDP governorship aspirant had in October, 2022 dragged the then Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Oborevwori and the PDP to court, alleging that the now governor submitted false documents to the Independent National Electoral Commission, to aid his qualification for 2019 House of Assembly election in Delta State.
