Appeal Court verdict: A redemption deferred, says Omo-Agege

The former Deputy President of the Senate and the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has described today’s judgment of the Court of Appeal in the appeal he filed against Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State as redemption deferred for Deltans.

While he deeply respects their Lordships, Senator Omo-Agege is convinced that the learned justices clearly misapprehended the reformed electoral jurisprudence that now prevails 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 believes that justice is 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 well-being 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, in which “I have absolute confidence, will, at the final hurdle, serve justice and redemption now deferred.”
