The Court of Appeal sitting in Benin city, Edo state, rules in favour of Gen. Charles Airhiavbere: the candidate of PDP that participated in the July 14 gubernatorial election.
The court of Appeal has ordered that the Edo State Governorship tribunal should hear the petition of the Petitioner's case as it concerns the non qualification of the Respondent Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of ACN. The implication of this ruling is that the tribunal shall now consider the question of whether or not Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is qualified to hold the office of the Governor of Edo state as regards his credentials submitted to INEC which Charles Aihiavbere contended that Adams Oshionhole never attended the schools stated on the results.
