Appeal Court affirms election of reps Ibori-Suenu Erhiatake of Delta State

The Lagos Appeal Court, on Tuesday, upheld the election of Hon. Ibori-Suenu Erhiatake of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Delta State.

The PDP member representing Ethiope East/West Federal Constituency of Delta State, floored Ben Igbakpa of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Halims Ahoda of the All Progressives Congress, and Ogboru Etabunor of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

Delivering the judgment, Hon. Justice Festus Ogbuinaya, Senchi, and Waziri, held that Erhiatake was the winner of the February 25, 2023 National Assembly into the Ethiope Federal Constituency election and dismissed the petitions of the appellants.

Erhiatake described the ruling of the Court of Appeal as a victory from God and dedicated it to her constituents. She lauded the decision of the Court of Appeal, saying democracy has come to stay not only in Delta State but in Nigeria as a whole.
