“I would like to congratulate H.E. Governor Sherrif Oborevwori on his well-earned victory in the Supreme Court.
“I also commend the leadership and members of our esteemed party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and all Delta State residents, both at home and in the Diaspora, on this significant legal victory to unite with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in delivering genuine democratic dividends through the M.O.R.E. agenda of the incumbent administration,” Hon. Spencer Okpoye calls for Deltans of all political persuasions.
