Justice Taiwo Taiwo ruled that Oborevwori, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, isn’t qualified to contest.
The court order followed a suit instituted by David Edevbie, a former commissioner for finance, who is the anointed candidate of former governor James Ibori against Oborevwori’s candidacy.
Oborevwori is the candidate of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, the state governor and Vice Presidential Candidate of the PDP.
