The Court of Appeal in Benin on Tuesday nullified the election of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan as the governor of Delta State. In its judgment in an appeal by Chief Great Ogboru of the Democratic Peoples Party, the appellate court directed the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a fresh governorship election in the state within 90 days. It also ordered the Speaker of the state house of assembly, Mr Sam Obi, to act as the governor, pending the conduct of the fresh election. The governorship poll is likely to be the first major test of the Prof. Attahiru Jega-led INEC. In a unanimous judgment read by Justice Monica Murktar, the court said, “After looking at the submissions of counsel to both parties and the submission by INEC counsel, it was obvious that the election was characterised by a lot of irregularities. “There were a lot of election malpractices by the umpire in favour of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party which placed undue advantage on him and his party to the detriment of other contestants in the election.”

once again the rule of law has prevailed! i use to tell as many who cares to listen that NIgeria is on the right track! surely things seem not perfect now but surely it will be better with time. the evil that our leaders did or are doing hunts after them! their loots, their bending of the law etc. currently Ibori family with their partners in loots and forgeries are on the hot seat in uk. withstanding not all the former leaders can go to some advance societies freely as it used to be in the 80s n 90s. things are changing in favour of the people whose tax' are being looted away! it's of no doubt that ''the share the money'' or ''people deceive people's party'' have lost yet another state to an opposition! the present of opposition means healthy competition and thus development! i thank GOD for answering the prayers of the oppressed people of the land!
I HAVE FAITH IN THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA!!!!!
