Ibori’s Daughter Hails As She Reclaims Mandate At Court Of Appeal

Rep Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu (PDP-Delta), more popularly known as the daughter of Chief James Ibori has dedicated her victory at the Court of Appeal, which sat in Lagos, to the people of her Ethiope Federal Constituency of Delta.

The daughter of former Delta Governor, James Ibori, in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, described the ruling as a victory to God and her constituents.

According to her, with this development, democracy has come to stay.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ibori-Suenu had floored Mr Ben Rolands Igbakpa and Mr Halims Ahoda of the NNPP and APC respectively, in the February 2023 election.

NAN reports that Justices Festus Ogbuinaya, Jumia Samchi and Waziri delivered the judgement on Nov 7 in Lagos.

The appellate court held that the appeal of the PDP candidate was meritorious and set aside the earlier ruling of the lower court, which was against her.

She further urged her supporters to be law abiding and be magnanimous in victory. (NAN)

GWG.ng reports that Erhiatake Ibori’s victory in the Court of Appeal is significant as it follows the division between her family and the mainstream of her party over the other elective positions in Delta State. Chief Ibori with his daughter were alleged to have supported the APC in the governorship contest in the state as against their party.
