“I accepted the landmark judgement of the Election Petition Tribunal which sacked the candidate of the All Progressive Congress,who was desperately declared as winner for Delta Central Senatorial District in the February 25th Presidential and National Assembly election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, despite our initial protest of over voting in some polling units and places where election did not take place but results were written.
“The Judgement has restored the hope of the good people of Delta Central (Urhobo Nation) who are yearning for quality and inclusive representation in the National Assembly,to bring the needed development,progress and growth across Urhobo territories.
“The good people of Delta Central Senatorial District came out gallantly on Saturday 25th February,2023 and voted for my candidacy but sadly,it was massively rigged in favour of my major opponent in the election.
“I praise the judiciary for serving justice in our petitions.
“I equally thank the good people of Delta Central for their support and prayers.
“We are fully ready for the next level whether Appeal Court or Re-run election as the case may be in the affected polling units.Delta Central Senatorial District deserved the very best representation that will restore the hope of our people, particularly the youths who seem helpless without work to do after graduation.
