The Court of Appeal in Abuja has set aside the decision of a federal high court which removed Oborevwori Sheriff as People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 governorship election in Delta State.
Justice Peter Ige who delivered the judgement also held that issue of certificate forgery and faking of documents allegations against the Speaker are criminal in nature and such must be proved by calling witnesses from those who issued the certificates and the alleged fake documents.
The Appellate court also held that David Edevbie who instituted the Federal High Court suit ought to have approached the court via Writ of Summons to enable resolution of disputes and not by originating summons where only affidavit evidence is required.
