Justice S.M. Owoduni, in the lead judgment in the petition by the AD and its candidate, Owei Woniwei, held that the petitioners failed to prove the allegation that Ewhrudjakpo forged his declaration of age and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharged certificate.

Justice Owoduni said the petition lacked merit and proceeded to dismiss it.

This is even as the tribunal is currently on its judgment in the third petition filed by Vijah Opuama of the Liberation Movement (LM) party.

Opuama’s petition filed on February 21, 2020, is challenging the election of Diri and Ewhrudjakpo on the grounds that the deputy governor was not qualified to contest the election.
