The presiding Judge, Honourable Justice A.R. Mohammed delivered the judgment which lasted for one hour thirty five minutes.

Making further pronouncements, Justice Mohammed equally ordered Peter Nwaoboshi to stop parading himself as the Senator-elect for Delta North senatorial district forthwith.



Dissecting all the matters in contention, the Judge had averred that the onus lied on PDP as the 2nd Defendant and Peter Nwaoboshi as the 3rd Defendant to prove that Nwaoboshi actually won the primary election by producing the primary election materials; but instead refused to respect court orders for the production of the ballot papers.

He posited that all evidence as provided by the Plaintiff has proved that Ned Nwoko won the primary election as conducted by the PDP on the 2nd of October, 2019; while also maintaining that constitutional provisions were followed in filing a substantive suit against the 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants in the case.

He stressed that the summary of the matter was to tell people that manipulation of electoral processes is no longer in vogue, adding that such could always be quashed except not properly challenged.



The lawyer affirmed that the 2nd and 3rd defendants came to an open court and denied that the exhibits tendered were not the certified true copy of the ballot papers used in the primary election, even when they couldn’t produce any to authenticate their case.
