“This accurately reflects the preferences of the majority of Deltans who cast their ballots in the State’s March 18 2023 governorship election, their Lordships’ decision upholds the decisions made by the Appeal Court and the Tribunal.
“While we appreciate the Court’s fairness in this case, I implore the opposition candidates to recognise the ruling as accurately representing the interests of Deltans who overwhelmingly supported Governor Oborevwori in the elections.
“It is now time for all Deltans, regardless of their political inclinations, to support our friendly governor in implementing his laudable MORE Agenda for our people now that the legal distractions have been laid to rest.
