A top contender for the Udu Local Government Council chairmanship seat, under the platform of Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Adams Henry Akpominigbo, has congratulated Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori on the Governorship Election Petition Supreme Court Victory.

The Supreme Court, led by five justices dismissed the petitions filed by governorship candidates, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Kennedy Pela, of the Labour Party (LP), and Kenneth Gbagi of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), challenging Oborevwori’s victory for lacking in merit.

Reacting to the Supreme Court judgement, the Udu Chairmanship aspirant, Chief Akpominigbo in a statement, described the Supreme court verdict as a ”great victory for all Deltans, saying that he was not surprised that judgement was given in favour of the Governor Oborevwori because he won fair and square at the polls.

According to Akpominigbo, Governor Oborevwori won the March 18, 2023 governorship election convincingly, saying that the judgment was an affirmation of Deltans’ mandate freely given to the Governor during the election.

He said; “With a heart full of joy, I join thousands of Deltans to congratulate to our distinguished Governor, Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori, his Deputy Sir Monday Onyeme, and our great party PDP on the judicial affirmation of the victory at the Governorship election of March 2023. This is indeed a great victory for the people of Udu and Deltans in general.”

“Our State now needs all of us, to work together to deliver the dividends of democracy for the benefit of all. I therefore urged all Deltans to join hands to support Oborevwori’s administration”.

“PDP won the governorship election convincingly and today the supreme court has spoken loud and clear. This is a sweet victory for democracy and we give the Glory to God”. He added.

Chief Akpominigbo further called on Udu people to continue to support the policies and programmes of Governor Oborevwori’s administration in order to build a greater Delta State.
