Justice C.H Ahuchaogu, in a four-hour judgement, held that the petitioner could not prove the case of substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act against the Governor (second respondent).
Ahuchaogu also ruled that the petitioner failed to prove that Governor Oborevwori was not duly elected by the majority of lawful votes cast.
