“There is no need to panic; all is well. We will certainly appeal the judgment and so let us maintain the peace as all hope is not lost.”
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s anointed PDP guber candidate and speaker of the Delta House of Assembly, Sheriff Oborevwori, says he will appeal the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court judgment against his candidacy.
The court on Thursday disqualified Mr Oborevwori from contesting the Delta governorship election in 2023.
Delivering judgment on a suit filed by Olorogun Edevbie, Justice Taiwo Taiwo held that Mr Oborevwori lacked the legal competence to participate in the election.
The judge held that the suit had merit and accordingly granted the reliefs sought by Mr Edevbie against Mr Oborevwori.
In a statement by the embattled politician’s spokesman Dennis Otu, the speaker called on all his supporters and the public to remain calm.
“I wish to appeal to all my supporters, political associates and well-wishers to remain calm and law-abiding over the judgement of the federal court. There is no need to panic; all is well. We will certainly appeal the judgment and so let us maintain the peace as all hope is not lost,” Mr Oborevwori declaredAll is well and it will end in praise to the glory of God almighty. The courts have always been part of our democratic experience and our confidence in the judiciary, which is the last hope of the common man, is unwavering.”
The statement added, “So, as we embark on the appeal process, our supporters and indeed the people of the state should kindly note and rest assured that Sheriff Oborevwori remains the gubernatorial flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta.”
Meanwhile, the Delta PDP has confirmed receiving the court judgment.
”We have already engaged our team of legal experts to critically study the ruling and explore grounds on which we can confidently approach the Court of Appeal,” said the PDP spokesman in Delta, Ifeanyi Osuoza. “We assure them that we are quite confident in our conviction, that justice will be done and we will get judgement at the appellate court.”
