The court of Appeal have moved the Judgement of the Delta State governorship election petition to the Court of Appeal headquarter in Abuja.
The Judgment which had been earlier scheduled for Appeal court in Benin on Thursday was allegedly moved to Abuja for undisclosed reason.
The Front Desk Officer, Appeal Court, Benin said they have been communicated that the judgment is now to hold in Abuja on Thursday by 10am.
The officer who pleaded anonymity, said we were asked to communicate to the affected parties that the judgment would hold in Abuja.
Attempt made by our reporter to get reasons behind the movement from the Deputy Chief Registrar, Mrs. Ijeoma Nwobia prove abortive.
She told the Nation that she was busy and had no time to attend to journalist.
It would be recalled that the appeal court sitting in Benin had on Thursday last week reserved judgment on the appeal brought before it by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Olorogun O’ tega Emerhor.
The Delta State governorship election petition tribunal had in October declared Dr Ifeanyi Okowa of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the April gubernatorial poll.
The tribunal had ruled in favour of the governor and Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), dismissing the petition filed by Emerhor.
Emerhor had approached the election petition tribunal to nullify the April poll on the ground of non-compliance with the electoral Act 2010 (as amended).
