KEN PELA ASKED SUPREME COURT TO DECLARE HIM AS THE WINNER OF THE 2023 DELTA STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION

KEN PELA ASKED SUPREME COURT TO DECLARE HIM AS THE WINNER OF THE 2023 DELTA STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION

UPDATE ON OUR QUEST TO ENSURE WHOEVER REMAINS AS GOVERNOR OF DELTA STATE AT THE END OF THE 2023 ELECTION CYCLE IS THE RESULT OF AN EXCELLENT PROCESS.

Today at the supreme court of Nigeria in abuja, I was joined by great obedient group as the first hearing in our case was heard and in this hearing we asked the court to dismiss the ruling of the delta state governorship tribunal, the court of appeal and at the same time declare me ken pela of the labour party the winner of the 2023 delta state governorship election or cancel the entire election to hand a fresh election because of the irregularities and unlawful activities witnessed in hosting the elections by inec and the PDP and the APC respectively.

We in the labour party won that election and should be given the opportunity to enjoy the mandate given by the people of delta state. 

You will recall that when I formally announced the commencement of this journey in a tweet on 5th June 2023, I stated that I was inspired by the profound words of H. E. @peterobi, when he said, 

“If you must be referred to as ‘Your Excellency’, then the process through which you arrived in office must be excellent”. In the process, we have journeyed from the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal (DSGEPT) where our petition was thrown out prematurely, to the @NGCourtofAppeal, Abuja where we won the right to have our petition heard and finally to the @SupremeCourtNG where our right was upheld before returning to the DSGEPT where our petition was dismissed and then proceeding to the @NGCourtofAppeal, Lagos where our appeal was dismissed.

You will also recall that on the 24th of Nov. 2023 after the dismissal of our appeal, I promised to communicate our next line of action after reviewing the judgement with our counsel.
