Barely four days after a Court of Appeal sitting in Benin-City, Edo State, dismissed a petition filed by the Delta Central senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Hon. Halims Agoda, against him over the 2015 general election result, Chief Ighoyota Amori’s victory dance has been cut short by the same Appeal Court.

The Appeal Court on Saturday annulled the election of Amori, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared Obariri Ovie Omo-Agege winner of the Labour Party as the winner of the 2015 Delta Central senatorial election. The appellate court annulled the victory of Amori as declared by INEC and upheld by the elections petition tribunal.

THISDAY gathered that gloom enveloped the camp of Amori, a one-time education commissioner in Delta State as his victory dance over the Appeal Court’s earlier verdict has become short-lived.

Dismissing the appeal of Agoda earlier in the week in the unanimous judgment, Justice H. Barka held that the use of manual accreditation was legal, adding that card readers were meant to complement manual accreditation. Barka said, over voting could only be said to have taken place if the number of votes cast was more than what was in the voters register and “not card readers.”

The judge also dismissed claims of the APC candidate of election violence and argument that the conduct of the election by INEC did not substantially comply with the provision of the Electoral Act.

Meanwhile, the victory dance yesterday night shifted to the camp of Omo-Agege, a one-time secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG) and chieftain of the PDP until his defection to the Labour Party before the 2014 general election.

With the victory of Omo-Agege, the number of PDP senators in Delta State has been reduced from three to two, that is, Senator James Manager representing Delta South and Peter Nwaoboshi who represents Delta North district.

There is a BIG problem with Nigeria judiciary and I am wondering who is the current Chief Justice of the Federation.
The same card reader that is relevant in Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, is irrelevant in Lagos, Delta, Oyo, etc. This is for an election conducted on the same day. One hopes that the Supreme court has not also been "compromised".

Nigeria we Hail thee oooo!!!

Why has there been too many inconsistencies in judgement on the last election?

The Nigerian judiciary is not speaking in one voice.

In one case, you say the card reader is required, in another you say it's not required.

Maka why?

Go and read those judgements very well you will understand that card readers was just one of facts used in proving over voting in the said elections there were other facts and evidence presented to back up those claims upon which the judges relied in arriving at their judgement/decision.

In the case of Akwa Ibom you can read this

Maka na..... Every case is based on facts and how those facts are argued and presented in court. When a good case is presented poorly in court you loose out. However a smart lawyer with a bad case can win his case in court if presented very well. That's the irony my broda.

Omo Agege....area!

Lobatan

Hahahaha

Amori is better as a political godfather than aspiring for political position. This man has suffered defeat twice.

Appeal everywhere

Nigeria democracy still on test run
