The Supreme Court of Nigeria has fixed October 21 for judgement in the appeal filed by the Delta State Peoples Democratic candidate governorship candidate for the 2023 governorship election, Olorogun David Edevbie.
It is recalled that the Federal High Court, Abuja, delivered judgement in favour of Edevbie but it was upturned by the Federal Court of Appeal in favour of Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, prompting Edevbie to proceed to the apex court to seek re-affirmation of his candidacy.
Edevbie, in a 23-ground of appeal filed by his lawyer, Mr. Eko Ejembi Eko (SAN), faulted the entire decision of the three-man panel of the Court of Appeal led by Justice Peter Ige and is asking the Supreme to restore his candidature of the PDP in the election slated for February next year.
After hearing parties at the sitting on October 12, the Supreme Court has fixed the judgement day for Friday, October 21.
