These claims are entirely false, baseless, and intended to mislead the public.

“We are deeply disappointed by the malicious and unfounded allegations made against Ken Pela and his legal team. We want to set the record straight and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to pursuing our case to its rightful conclusion. Our decision to challenge the electoral process and seek justice for the people of Delta State remains steadfast.
