Concern over the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Delta PDP guber ticket

In the absence of any unanticipated events, the Supreme Court of Nigeria will decide on Friday morning who would represent the Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, in the upcoming gubernatorial election.

The Supreme Court will decide a bitter legal dispute between two party leaders, David Edevbie and Oborevwori Sheriff Francis Orohwedor, who is presently the Speaker of the State House of Assembly.

According to a notification for judgement delivery that was just seen by a DAILY POST journalist, the court’s justices under the leadership of Justice Amina Adamu Augie would announce the outcome this morning.

In order to keep the peace after the verdict, our correspondent at the Apex Court saw that a retinue of security personnel had taken over the court’s facilities.

Along with security personnel, members of Delta State’s political elite flooded the court, giving the court’s internal security personnel a laborious effort in crowd control.

Several Senior Advocates of Nigeria who represented the parties in the legal dispute have also shown up in court in anticipation of the outcome of the pendulum swing.
