Delta State governor's defence suffers setback at election tribunal


Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa's defence at the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, sitting in Asaba, have suffered a setback after the tribunal dismissed the governor's prayer to stop INEC from giving oral evidence.
According to a report by The Punch, Okowa's plea to the election tribunal panel was dismissed by Justice Gunmi, who ruled on three motions moved by Okowa and PDP's representatives saying that the subpoena to the INEC was not the business of Okowa or the PDP.
