Omo-Agege heads for Supreme Court as Appeal Court affirms Oborevwori’s election

Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Ovie Omo-Agege, has described Friday’s judgment of the Court of Appeal as “a redemption deferred for Deltans”.

The former lawmaker disclosed this in a statement issued shortly after the appellate court’s decision by his Media Adviser, Mr. Sunny Areh, noting that he would proceed to the Supreme Court to seek justice.

Omo-Agege appealed to his supporters to remain calm and law-abiding, assuring them that “the judiciary which I have absolute confidence in will, at the final hurdle, serve justice and redemption now deferred.”

The statement maintained that Omo-Agege “firmly believes that justice is yet to be given to the people of Delta State who voted for him and the APC.”

The statement partly reads, “We will proceed to the Supreme Court. The issues at stake touch on the future and well-being of the people who voted for a New Delta. We have a duty to respect them by defending their faith in us with every sense of diligence and responsibility. We don’t waver on what is right.

“I am confident that the revered Justices of the Supreme Court will examine the areas overlooked at the Appeal Court and give justice to our people.”

The Court of Appeal, Lagos, on Friday, in a unanimous judgment, affirmed the election of Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party as the winner of the 2023 governorship elections.

Similarly, the appellate court, in a separate judgment, dismissed the appeal by the Labour Party and its governorship candidate, Ken Pela, challenging the lower tribunal judgment and upholding the election of Oborevwori.
