The former Deputy President of the Senate and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has described Friday’s judgement of the Court of Appeal in the appeal he filed against Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State as a redemption deferred for Deltans.
He said that while he deeply respected their Lordships, Senator Omo-Agege stated that he was convinced that the learned justices clearly misapprehended the reformed electoral jurisprudence that now prevailed to deepen democracy in the country.
In a statement issued after the decision and signed by his Media Adviser, Mr. Sunny Areh, Obarisi Omo-Agege said he firmly believed that justice had yet to be given to the people of Delta State who voted for him and the APC.
“We will proceed to the Supreme Court. The issues at stake touch on the future and wellbeing 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,” he said.
He appealed to his supporters to remain calm and law-abiding, assuring that the judiciary, which “I have absolute confidence in will, at the final hurdle, serve justice and redemption now deferred.”
