Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, on Friday, dedicated his victory at the Supreme Court to God, the unwavering support of Deltans and his legal team.<\/p>\n

Addressing the media in Abuja after the five-member panel of the apex court affirmed his victory, Oborevwori said his triumph meant there were no winners and losers.<\/p>\n

He called on the opposition parties in the state to join him in the task of developing the oil-rich state.<\/p>\n

While acknowledging the drain in energy and resources occasioned by the legal tussle, the Governor stressed the need for all Deltans to close ranks and support his administration to realise his four-point development strategy encapsulated in the MORE agenda.<\/p>\n

A statement by Igho Akeregha, Executive Assistant, Media to the Governor quoting his principal said with legal fireworks over, he is now poised to fully implement the MORE plan of Meaning Development, Opportunities for all, Realistic Reforms and Enhanced Peace and Security for all Deltans.<\/p>\n

Addressing his teeming supporters at the Governor\u2019s lodge who had earlier thronged the Supreme Court in their traditional yellow fez caps, Oborevwori assured of his commitment to uplift the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have shown me love. I and my Deputy will not disappoint you. We will continue to serve all Deltans with renewed vigour and commitment. What happened in the court today is a victory for all Deltans\u201d Oborevwori said.<\/p>\n

Amidst deafening chants of \u201cOn your mandate we shall stand\u201d by his supporters, the Governor expressed appreciation to all Deltans for their unwavering support, promising not to let them down.<\/p>\n

While dismissing Omo-Agege\u2019s petition, seeking to overturn Governor Oborevwori\u2019s election as governor of Delta State, a five-member panel of the apex court led by Inyang Okoro had held that the appellant was unable to prove his case of over-voting and non-compliance with the electoral laws.<\/p>\n

The court, in its lead judgement, held that the appeal lacked merit. The apex court has also dismissed the appeal of the SDP candidate against Governor Oborevwori.<\/p>\n

Oborevwori, who was the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was declared the winner of the 18 March governorship election by Nigeria\u2019s electoral commission, INEC.<\/p>\n

He defeated the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Ovie Omo-Agege, who proceeded to the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal to challenge the result declared by INEC.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court, the final arbiter in legal matters, similarly upheld the concurrent findings of both the tribunal, which had earlier dismissed Omo-Agege\u2019s petition, and the Court of Appeal in Lagos affirming the tribunal\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
