In the absence of any unanticipated events, the Supreme Court of Nigeria will decide this Friday morning who will represent the Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, in the upcoming gubernatorial election.
The Apex Court will decide the outcome of a bitter legal dispute between two party leaders, David Edevbie and Oborevwori Sheriff Francis Orohwedor, who is currently the Speaker of the State House of Assembly.
A notice for judgement delivery just sighted by newsmen showed that Justice Amina Adamu Augie-led panel of Justices of the Court would make the final decision public this morning.
Newsmen at the Apex Court noticed that the premises of the court had been taken over by a retinue of security operatives to maintain peace at the end of the judgement.
Apart from security men, who and who in the politics of Delta State have also stormed the court, giving the court’s internal security men the herculean task of crowd control.
Also, several Senior Advocates of Nigeria who stood for parties in the legal battle have also arrived in court waiting for where the pendulum would swing to.
