THAT Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been ousted as governor of Delta State is stale news. The contemporary matter now is who between him and Chief Great Ovadje Ogboru of the Democratic Peoples’ Party, DPP, will emerge as the next governor of Delta State within the 90 days that the Court of Appeal ordered in its November 9 judgment.
