Urhobotoday gathered from a report in THEWILL that the court annulled the victory of Mr. Ighoyota Amori of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as declared by INEC and upheld by the elections petition tribunal.

Mr. Amori’s guests donned only their finest white clothing during the festivities.

However, the Court has now ordered that Obaisi Ovie Omo-Agege of the Labour Party (LP) be sworn in after a long election petition tribunal leading to the Appeal Court decision.”
It will be recalled that Mr. Amori was interviewed by SaharaTV in August where he defended the integrity of former Delta State Governor James Ibori, who has been incarcerated in the United Kingdom for financial crimes and laundering money from his obscene looting as Governor. Mr. Amori told SaharaTV that “I visit James Ibori once every month. But I am not the only one who visits James Ibori. There is an avalanche of people—ministers, governors, Nigerian ambassadors—visiting James Ibori in prison. That should tell you about the person of James Ibori.”
