Reps Minority Leader hails Supreme Court Judgment On Delta State PDP

The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu has described the Friday, October 21, 2022 judgment of the Supreme Court on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governorship ticket for the 2023 elections in Delta State as “No Victor, No Vanquish”situation.

Elumelu said that the judgment must be seen by all as a clarion call to set aside all personal and group interests, unite as a family and present a formidable front to guarantee the victory of the PDP in the elections.

The judgment which upheld Sheriff Oborevwori as the Delta State Governorship candidate of the PDP rather than David Edevbie, presents the party an opportunity to leverage on and rally all forces for a resounding victory at the election.

“Now that all litigations related to the PDP governorship ticket in Delta State are over, I call on Sheriff Oborevwori and David Edevbie to come together and join forces to deliver a winning campaign.

“I also urge them to call their supporters together because we can only succeed if we go into the elections as a united front. What is paramount at this moment is to work together to ensure the victory of the PDP in the interest of the people of Delta State. We must therefore positively utilise this opportunity and come together, reconcile all our difference, embrace one another, forge a stronger and more united PDP in Delta State in the interest of our people,”Elumelu said.

He reminded party members of the onerous task ahead of them and that the stakes are very high.

“The people of Delta State have entrusted their mandate on our Party and we cannot afford to fail them,” the lawmaker said.

He added that “In this regard, we must put all the matters behind us and collectively put our hands on the deck to strengthen the PDP campaign at all levels for victory, so that PDP can continue in its good works, as established by our Governor and now Vice-Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, in delivering a stronger and prosperous Delta for the benefit of our people”.
