Mr Edevbie is urging the Supreme Court to uphold the judgment of the Federal High Court which declared him the PDP candidate.

Francis Oborevwori, on his part, is pleading with the apex court to endorse the ruling of the Court of Appeal which voided the decision of the high court.

The judgment of the court voided and set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court which had, on 7 July 2022, nullified his nomination on grounds of certificate forgery and perjury. The appellate court also held that Mr Edevbie, who filed the suit at the Federal High Court, ought to have approached the court via Writ of Summons to enable the resolution of disputes and not by originating summons where only affidavit evidence is required.
