INEC on Monday declared Sheriff Oborevwori as winner of Saturday’s governorship election in Delta State.
In a statement by its Director, Communications and Media Strategy, Ima Niboro, the Council dismissed the result declared by INEC as a pyrrhic victory for the Peoples Democratic Party which will be overturned by the sheer weight of evidence against it.
The APC campaign council said it has evidence that the process was characterised by irregularities and that the people of the state were denied the right to freely expressed their will. “Look at the streets of Delta today. It is gloom everywhere. Our people are wearing long, mournful faces. No sign of jubilation anywhere. Our streets would have been throbbing with life, song and dance, were this the will of the people. This rape of the will of the people will not stand. It must not be allowed to stand,” It said.“We call on our party faithful and supporters to remain calm. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning,” it said.
The statement said, “A while ago, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Delta State announced Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, gubernatorial flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party as the governor-elect following the March 18 governorship election. “The fraudulent nature of PDP’s so-called victory are just too damning and daring for it to be acceptable in any decent society. Most of those infractions are on the public domain and known to INEC officials and the security agencies involved in superintending the election.”
It said it was an unadulterated verdict of Deltans on how they have fared under 24 years of governance of their state by PDP.“On the basis of the factors listed and more that will come later, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, governorship candidate of the APC in Delta State as well as the leadership of the party, unequivocally reject the declaration by INEC of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori of the PDP as winner of the March 18 governorship election,” the statement said.
