ONE of the litigants that engaged in the long-drawn legal battle over governorship election in Delta State that terminated yesterday (Friday) following the Supreme Court judgment affirming Governorship Sheriff Oborevwori as the winner and also the candidate of the Social Democratic Party, in the election, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi has faulted the judgment, declaring that the ‘battle’ is not over.
In a terse statement personally signed by him and obtained from his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Kenneth Orusi last night, reads:
“Fellow Deltans, today the 19th day of January 2024, marks the darkest day in the history of the people of Delta State.
“The Supreme Court of Nigeria being the last hope of the people, have decided the more than obvious embarrassing and fraudulent situation in Delta State in what the public of Nigeria and particularly Deltans have woken up to see this day.
“I, as Kenneth O. Gbagi FMIN, OON have taken this first stage that has ended with the judgement of the Supreme Court today on behalf of Deltans and the good people of Nigeria.
“I will do a deep consultation with my political folks and will come up with a far reaching decision more again in the interest of the great people of Delta State.
“I enjoin all my teeming supporters to take a deep breathe and get ready as we have just begun”, he added philosophically.
