Agbi Congratulates Gov Oborevwori On His Supreme Court Victory
The Special Adviser to the governor of Delta State on Project Monitoring/Audit Engr. Goodnews Agbi has congratulated Governor of Delta State, Elder Sheriff Francis Oborevwori on his Supreme Court Victory, describing it as victory for all Deltans.
The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal by the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the last governorship election in Delta State, Ovie Omo-Agege.
Senator Omo-Agege had sought to sack Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a judgment, delivered by Justice Inyang Okoro of the five-member panel of the Supreme Court held that the appeal lacked merit.
The court held that the APC and its candidate did not prove that the election was not conducted in substantial compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act 2023.
The court dismissed Omo-Agege’s contention that some of the result sheets that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, relied upon to declare Oborevwori as the winner of the election, did not have serial numbers.
According to the court, even if the total number of INEC forms that the Appellants complained about are removed, it would still not affect the margin of lead that was in Oborevwori’s favour.
Meanwhile, in a congratulatory message, Engr.Agbi described the victory as a testament to the resounding mandate the people of Delta State have bestowed upon Elder Oborevwori to be their governor.
He said governor Oborevwori vision, integrity, and passion for the wellbeing of the people will undoubtedly guide him in making impactful decisions and implementing positive changes.
The statement reads, “On behalf of myself and my family, I extend our heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency, Elder Sheriff Francis Oborevwori on his victory at the Supreme Court.
“The Supreme Court judgement not only reaffirms the trust and confidence that the people of Delta State have in his leadership but also validates the overwhelming support and belief they have in the governor’s abilities to steer the state towards progress and development with the M.O.R.E Agenda
“We are confident that under your leadership, Delta State will continue to experience tremendous growth and prosperity.
“Governor Oborevwori’s vision, integrity, and passion for the wellbeing of the people will undoubtedly guide him in making impactful decisions and implementing positive changes.
“Once again, we congratulate you on this well-deserved victory. We are honored to have you as our governor and look forward to a continuous positive transformation you have established in Delta State.”
