Tribunal decide Gov. Okowa of Delta State fate in 48 hours

There is tension in Delta state as the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in the state is set to decide the fate of Governor Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.

The Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal is expected to give its final ruling within 48 hours on two petitions filed against the victory of Okowa as governor in the April 11, 2015 governorship election in the state, This Day reports.

The impending judgement is already making members of both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People Democratic Party (PDP) apprehensive.

 It will be recalled that Okowa of the PDP was declared winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

 However, the candidate of the APC, O’tega Emerhor, and that of the Labour Party (LP), Great Ovedje Ogboru, went to court, challenging his victory.
