  • UPU reacts over Oborevwori’s victory at Supreme Court

    UPU reacts over Oborevwori’s victory at Supreme Court

    The Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide has congratulated Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori on his victory at the Supreme Court on Friday.

    Speaking to journalists at a Press Conference held at the Urhobo Cultural Centre, Okere, Warri, Delta State on Sunday, President General of UPU, Chief Ese Gam while congratulating Governor Oborevwori, said; “the storm is over”.

    The UPU also appealed to the opposition to sheath their swords, join hands and support Governor Sheriff Oborevwori led government to move the State forward.

    According to him, “I use this opportunity to appeal and implore all our other sons from other political parties particularly the APC, SDP and Labour Party to come together and let’s reason under the UPU body so that we can be better equipped to assist our son and Executive Governor of Delta State, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori.”

    The UPU also congratulated the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, the All Progressives Congress, APC, the Labour Party, LP and the Social Democratic Party, SDP and others who contested the March 18, 2023 governorship election.

    Chief Gam said since the election of the incumbent governor, Urhobo nation has been in tentacles. It has been so tensed, very disturbing. The most disturbing part of it, is that all the contending forces are all Urhobo sons. That’s the most disturbing part of it was not a fight between Urhobo ethnic body and any other nationality in Delta State. It was more or less an in-house fight.

    “As a matter of fact, the UPU, Urhobo Progress Union, so many things had in mind, were put on hold after consultation with some stakeholders particularly, the traditional rulers.

    “Now, I can say confidently that the storm is now over. If the storm is over, we can say too that this press conference is geared towards letting Urhobo nation to know that the cacophony or voices have been collapsed at this particular time.

    “We now have a governor on record for four years, God willing, for eight years. If we cannot as an Urhobo body come together, get united in other to move Delta State forward, history will not forgive us.

    “Why I say this is because the incumbent governor from the report sheet we are receiving started by hitting the ground running. All these stories about Julius Berger coming to Delta State are stories we never heard before.

    “Only about two days ago, somebody said on Facebook that the present governor has not borrowed money to do anything. These are the things we never seen. So, no matter what happens, like I tell people except the Lord build, those who build, build in vein.

    “This particular governor is branded and built by God. If not, like he said, he suffered 38 pre-election and post election cases. What can be more difficult than that?

    “Having said that, I congratulate the governor. I congratulate all those who contested in the election. Both PDP, APC, Labour Party, SDP and all because they’re all our sons. We congratulate them.”

    The UPU President further said; “it’s good for all to come together since the case at the Supreme Court has come to an end.

    “In every contest, there must be a winner. There must be a victor. What we don’t want is a vanquish. I know the Governor has a large heart. He is not a punishment officer.

    “So, I will on behalf of the UPU which is the umbrella body of the Urhobo Progress Union all over the world implore him and let him know that it is the God that he serves that put him there.

    “It’s not by might. Bible says, provision does not come from the North, East, West or South. Rather, it comes from God and does not discriminate.

    “You know the story of the prodigal son. Even after wasting the wealth of the father, he still came back. The father was the most joyous.

    “Whoever, that comes, whoever that has decided to change his mind to work with this government, we beg the governor to accept such persons wholeheartedly without fear or favour, ill-will.”

  • Supreme Court: Oborevwori surviving 38 lawsuits divine – Aide

    Supreme Court: Oborevwori surviving 38 lawsuits divine – Aide

    Dr  Latimore Oghenesivbe, Executive Assistant on Communications and Orientation to  Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, says the governor’s survival of 38 lawsuits  is a divine intervention.

    Oghenesivbe stated this while  addressing newsmen at a  happy hour he organised to fete members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) on Saturday in Asaba, the Delta capital.

    The celebration followed  the Supreme Court verdict of Friday in Abuja that affirmed Oborevwori’s victory.

    He noted that the Apex Court knocked off unpopular candidates who were capitalising on technicalities to upturn the Oborevwori’s victory at the March 18, 2023 governorship election in Delta.

    According to Oghenesivbe, the governor survived 38 criminal lawsuits, from party primary to post governorship election, making him the most fortunate and divinely anointed celebrant in the history of constitutional democracy in Nigeria.

    “His political detractors fought him from all angles, pressed all manners of frivolous criminal charges, all in an attempt to stop him from becoming the governor.

    “And when he eventually won the governorship election with a wide margin, Oborevwori’s traducers flooded the Courts with multifaceted lawsuits to remove him as governor but all their efforts crashed.”

    He said that in all the travails of  Oborevwori, God was with him, and that if God exalted a man, no mere mortal could bring him down.

    He said the plethora of criminal lawsuits pressed against the governor could have swept him off his feet if not for the grace of God.

    He described  the inner peace, wisdom and strength of character the governor exhibited throughout his ordeals in the hands of desperate politicians  hell bent on stealing the peoples mandate given to him at the polls,  as divine.

    Oghenesivbe said the nation’s judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court  in all recent judgments, sent strong signals to unpopular candidates  shopping for frivolous technicalities that there it would  never be business as usual.

    He added that in the case of Delta, it was clear that petitioners and Appellants claims and prayers were lacking in merit as declared by the Apex Court, and therefore,  laboured in vain to suppress the will of the good people of the state.

    He said that Oborevwori’s hands are  clean, his personal and academic records remained unblemished, his genuine intentions to serve the people could not be faulted.

    “He truly and genuinely won the 2023 governorship election with a wide margin, winning 21 out of 25 Local Government Areas,   as against his distant rival, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who won in four.

    “Oborevwori campaigned from Ward to Ward, Unit to Unit, Local Government to Government,  marketing his M.O.R.E Agenda to the good people of Delta.

    “His opponents were busy casting aspersions, and some of them relied heavily on federal might and legal technicalities to subvert the will of the people to no avail.

    “They did all manners of things to stop the move of God, and as we know it in Christiandom, nobody can battle with God and win, the divine principles of ‘Touch not my anointed applies,” he said.

    He said  the result of the divine oil of God on Oborevwori’s head played out at the Supreme Court on Friday.

    “His academic records were unblemished, his personal records and strength of character cannot be faulted, his landslide victory at the polls was staggering, and above all, God was and still is, with Oborevwori.

     ” God Touched  on all the 38 criminal litigations across Courts of competent jurisdictions and ended in favour of the governor and his Deputy, Mr Monday Onyeme.

    “They divinely and miraculously survived 38 criminal lawsuits to stand tall and remained unbeatable as affirmed by the Apex Court,” Oghenesivbe said.

    He urged continued partnership with the media, adding  that, ” constructive criticism remains ideal for good governance, as it morrows positives and negatives,  necessary for nation building.

    “But we must abstain from jungle journalism and dissemination of half truth and data manipulations, upholding professional standards and principles of fairness through balanced reporting,” he said.

    The Chairman of NUJ, Delta Council, Mr  Churchill Oyowe, thanked the governor’s aide for deeming it necessary to fete Journalists in the state as part of  Oborevwori’s Supreme Court victory celebration.

    He said members of the union remained apolitical but noted that the victory of the  governor at the polls was convincing enough to avoid plethora of post election litigations.

    He urged politicians to help strengthen and deepen democratic values and culture by accepting defeat to avoid unnecessary wastage of scarce financial resources in post election legal battles.

    Oyowe, on behalf of the  state council,  congratulated  Oborevwori on his victory while urging the governor to be magnanimous in victory by extending the olive branch to his opponents.

    “I have done it several times and I said I will also return the same day of the victory to thank God. For the Lord has redeemed me.

    “This victory is not about me but about the people of Delta state. The immediate past governor said that somebody that would not recognise this altar will never be governor; God has honoured that word.

    “This case made it 38 cases for me from pre-election matters to this one. Even the governors who have done eight years did not go through such number of cases.

    The Governor who was earlier welcomed from Abuja by a mammoth crowd at the Asaba International Airport, said he was happy that the litigations were over, assuring that he would now concentrate in delivering on his MORE Agenda for the people.

    “I was overwhelmed by the crowd and the show of love at the airport. I want to reassure Deltans that my Deputy Governor and I will continue to serve you.

    “This judgment truly underscores the trust and confidence that the people of our state, the Big Heart of our nation, have placed in the leadership of Governor Oborevwori’s administration and our great party.

    “As we celebrate this significant achievement, we must see this as a renewed commitment to work collaboratively for all Deltans by focusing on our common goals, pushing to manifest our shared dreams and aspirations, and working to find solutions to the problems that confront our great state and its remarkable people.”

    Also, former Governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, said, “congratulations to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his family, congratulations to all Deltans and to all well wishers across the world.

    How Uba Sani won at Supreme Court

    The Supreme Court on Friday affirmed the election of Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State.

    Delivering judgement, Justice Tijjani Abubakar, dismissed the appeal against the governor by the PDP and it’s candidate, Ashiru Isa.

    The court of appeal in Abuja had on Nov.  24 last year in a unanimous judgement affirmed the election of Uba Sani as Kaduna state governor.

    The PDP and Ashiru had challenged the outcome of the governorship election held in the state on March 18.

    They alleged that Uba was not duly elected by a majority of valid votes cast in the election, adding that the election was invalid by reason of corrupt practices and non-compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.

    They further alleged that some polling unit results were wrongfully cancelled, insisting that there were inconsistencies in accreditation records from INEC.

    However, in a judgement delivered on September 28, two of the three judges on the Tribunal dismissed the petition on technical grounds.

    Victor Oviawie, who led the panel said that the petition was deemed abandoned because PDP and its candidate did not file their pre-hearing application within the time prescribed by law.

    The court, in its lead judgement that was delivered by Justice Inyang Okoro, held that the appeal lacked merit.

    It held that the APC and its candidate did not prove that the election was not conducted in substantial compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act 2023.

    The court dismissed Omo-Agege’s contention that some of the result sheets that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, relied upon to declare Oborevwori as the winner of the election, did not have serial numbers.

    According to the court, even if the total number of INEC forms that the Appellants complained about are removed, it would still not affect the margin of lead that was in Oborevwori’s favour.

    It held that the Appellants failed to discharge the burden of proof placed on them by the law to warrant the setting aside of both the Court of Appeal judgement and the verdict of the Delta State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal.

    Consequently, it dismissed the petition without cost.

    It will be recalled that INEC declared that Oborevwori of the PDP polled 360, 234 votes to win the governorship election ahead of Omo-Agege of the APC who secured 240, 229 votes.

    However, dissatisfied with the result, Omo-Agege, who is the immediate past Deputy President of the Senate, approached the court to nullify the outcome of the election.
