By Felix Ekwu

The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja today nullified the judgement of the Federal High Court, Abuja, declaring Olorogun David Edevbie as the lawful and authentic governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State for the 2023 general elections.

The ruling of the Appellate Court followed an appeal filed by Chief Sheriff Oborevwori and the PDP, challenging the judgement of the Federal High Court delivered by Justice Taiwo O. Taiwo.

It was with bated breath the PDP family in the state awaited the judgement following the legal tussle which has in recent weeks polarised the party along Oborevwori and Edevbie.

In dismissing the judgement of the Federal High Court, the Appeal Court ruled as follows

1. Allegations of fraud such as fake documents cannnot be resolved by originating summon.

2. Case of forgery cannot be decided by affidavit evidence.

3. The court just held that the suit ought to have been commenced by writ of summons and not originating summons.

4. The court has also held that since the matter is founded on presentation of forged documents will require calling of witnesses.

5.The court also held that the cause of action of David has not crytsalize for the court to assume jurisdiction.

10.The court has further held the right of David to approach the court can only accrue when INEC publishes the personal particulars of Sheriff

11.The court has held that the Federal Court misconstrued the provisions of Section 29 of the Electoral Act. The reasoning of the Federal High on the interpretation of Section 29 is erroneous.
