The All Progressives Congress, APC, and its governorship candidate in Delta State, Mr.  O’tega Emerhor, have petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, alleging a plot by some of its staff   to scuttle their petition against the April 11 governorship election in the state.

The APC and its candidate had gone before the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting Asaba to challenge the election victory of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The petitioners are praying the tribunal to sack  Okowa from office, alleging that he emerged from an election that was fraught with manifest irregularities and electoral malpractices.
