Delta State Gov. Uduaghan Loses Tenure Elongation Case



The governor of Delta state, Emmanuel Uduaghan, will face another election in April 2011,  a few months after he "won" a controversial court ordered election in the state.

Uduaghan filed a lawsuit to stop fresh elections in the state soon after his recent election has failed to secure the court approval according to the ruling of the court today.

A federal high court judge in Asaba ruled today that the commencement date of Uduaghan's return to office in January distinguishes case from what happened in another case at the federal court in Abuja where a judge nullified elections scheduled in five PDP states.

Uduaghan lawyers say he will likely appeal the ruling.
