BREAKING: Supreme Court Shuns Edevbie, Declares Okowa's Man PDP Candidate

BREAKING: Supreme Court has shunned Edevbie and declared Okowa’a man PDP candidate.

News ToGo reports that the controversy over who is the authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State has lingered since the primary took place. The battle then shifted to the court with the Apex Court left to give the final verdict.

The Supreme Court on Friday in Abuja affirmed the Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Oborevwori Sheriff Francis Orohwedor, as the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in the 2023 governorship election in Delta State.

It upheld the decision of the Court of Appeal delivered on Monday, August 29, which voided and set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court of July 7, 2022, that nullified his nomination on the grounds of certificate forgery and perjury. Justice Tijani Abubakar held that the grievous allegations of supply of false information and certificate forgery brought against the Speaker cannot be proved beyond reasonable doubts with the use of originating summons, Daily Post reports.

The court agreed that the appellant ought to have approached the Federal High Court via Writ of Summons to enable resolution of disputes and not by originating summons where only affidavit evidence is required.

Justice Abubakar resolved all disputed issues in favour of Oborevwori Sheriff Francis Orohwed as canvassed by his lawyer, Mr Damian Dodo SAN.

The Supreme Court in totality held that the case of the appellant, David Edevbie has no merit in any form and was subsequently dismissed.

With this development, the battle over who flies the PDP’s governorship flag in Delta is over.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
