The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by Ikie Aghwarianovwe seeking the disqualification of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, for allegedly supplying false information about his academic qualification and date of birth to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The presiding judge, Justice Adamu Jauro, in a judgement delivered by Justice Emmanuel Agim on Friday, July 7, 2023, dismissed the suit.
The five-member panel of the apex court was unanimous in holding that Aghwarianovwe’s appeal failed because he failed to show that the concurrent decisions of the two lower courts were perverse.
It noted that none of the grounds of the appeal showed that the concurrent findings of the two lower courts were perversed.
Justice Jauro said: “After a very detailed consideration of every argument of all the parties on the various issues raised, I find that no matter how the instant appeal is viewed it is bound to fail.
