Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in Delta State has congratulated Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, on his victory at the Supreme Court.
In a statement signed by him, he said It has been a long-drawn-out struggle to offer Deltans the best in the governance of the state.
He asked Deltans to respect the Supreme Court decision and give their best to promote peace everywhere in our beloved Delta State.
While saying it is about the collective interest and good of the people and not their personal interest, Omo-Agege said the Governor having now received the Supreme Court’s seal of approval, should receive his well wishes as a democrat.
“May the good Lord guide and abide with you and give you good health, strength and wisdom to govern our state well in Jesus’ name.
“The Supreme Court today disallowed our appeal in respect of the March 18, 2023, Delta State Governorship Election and affirmed the return of Hon. Sheriff Oberevwori as the duly elected Governor of Delta state.
“As the final court of the land, all citizens are bound to accept and abide by its decisions even if they do not accord with their personal or collective expectations of justice.
“The unity, peace, and general good of our dear state are bigger and more important than any individual or group interest. Having responsibly and fully played our role in a principled defence of our fervent belief in the truth, honour and justice of our case and cause as democrats, we must now yield all to posterity, even as we thank God Almighty who gave us the grace to stand in the first place.
He thanked his family members, President Bola Tinubu, national and state leadership of APC, the Campaign Organisation, the legal team, running mate, political, religious, community, business, professional, and youth leaders, great friends and indeed all party members and supporter for their for their huge sacrifices in his quest to offer innovative and caring leadership to the people.
“We ran a great race. Hold your head high as a man of honour. I pray the Almighty God rewards your faithfulness and loyalty beyond ordinary human comprehension” Omo-Agege stated.
