Following the judgment of the Governorship election at the Appeal Court, Friday, the All Progressive Party, APC, in Delta State, has briefed its legal team and will approach the Supreme Court to challenge the verdict.
The APC stressed that the party and its teeming members in the state are not perturbed in any way by the outcome of the Appeal Court judgment, which it described as a temporary setback.
The party said in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Barrister Valentine Onojeghuo, that it was confident that the mandate given to it by the good people of the state, who believe in its laudable programmes and the capability of its candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, to turn things around and build a new Delta, would be restored.
Commending its team of lawyers for a good job done, the APC said the party was hopeful of getting favourable judgment at the apex court because it has a watertight case to overturn the Appeal Court verdict.
While commending its members for their steadfastness, support and loyalty, the party prevailed on them to remain calm and hopeful, assuring them that “there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
The statement further emphasised that “our stolen mandate will surely be restored. It is only a matter of time.”
The APC said the judgment of the Appeal Court cannot stand the test of time. “We have no iota of doubt that we shall reclaim our mandate at the Supreme Court.”
