Delta 2023: Edevbie Hails Supporters, Congratulates Oborevwori, But Mum On Role In Campaign

Olorogun David Edevbie has congratulated his rival, Speaker Sheriff Oborevwori after the Supreme Court decision that threw away his appeal against the affirmation of the Court of Appeal judgment that went the way of the Delta speaker.

In a message of congratulations to his rival, Edevbi while wishing Oborevwori all the best, however, drew back from enthusiastically throwing his structure and political identity towards the speaker.

In a statement issued by his Director of Strategic Communications, Fred Edoreh, Edevbi affirmed that he had come to the end of the road in his present quest to become governor of Delta State.

He paid glowing tribute to his supporters for identifying with him all through the process affirming that nothing could be done to upturn the decision.

The statement read in part:

“The Supreme Court’s verdict today brings closure to the process of determining the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 Delta State Governorship election. It has undoubtedly been a long, drawn-out struggle in which several long-cherished relationships were strained.

“While the outcome was not what we desired or prayed for, as democrats, we accept it as final.  To all our party members and stakeholders, especially the youths and all the good people of Delta state in general,  who stood with us in our quest for the opportunity to deliver a modern state, I understand your disappointment.

” In the words of Senator Edward Kennedy, ‘the dream lives on,” even as I say a huge thank you from the depth of my heart.

“Notwithstanding the outcome, we should all stand tall with our heads unbowed in the firm knowledge that we gave it our best. The court of posterity will undoubtedly judge us with favour.

“At this stage, I congratulate the Delta state gubernatorial flag bearer of PDP, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori, and wish him well in the 2023 General Elections.

“Finally, I would like to remind us all that the future of this state is far more important than anyone’s personal bias or interest, and I encourage us all to continue to strive for the good of every member of this commonwealth.

“Once again, thank you for your prayers, well wishes, and support,” Edevbie said in reaction to the Supreme Court judgment.
