The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has accepted the judgement of the Supreme Court, which upheld the return of Francis Sheriff Oborevwori by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the governor of Delta State in the March 18, 2023 governorship election.
This was contained in a statement signed by the APC Chairman in Delta State, Elder Omeni Sobotie.
The APC also congratulated Oborevwori on his judicial victory.
According to the APC, “Let us be clear. The APC as the leading opposition party in Delta State shall be a beacon of light and remain a responsible and firm in engaging the government to align its policies with the dictates of the law, equity and good governance for the benefit of our people.
“We shall do all that is necessary to obviate arbitrariness in governance and protect the rights of our citizens.
“In a show of exemplary leadership candour and humility, our gubernatorial flagbearer, Obarisi, Senator Ovie Omo Agege, has, in a swift reaction to the Supreme Court judgement, issued a press statement abiding by the verdict.
“He also quite commendably congratulated His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for the judicial decision and wished him well. As a party, we are in full alignment with this strong democratic leadership step.
“Delta State belongs to us all. We must all work together to build it for this and future generations. In the light of the foregoing, we call on all Deltans to do whatever they can to sustain peace, security and unity in our dear state.”
