The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
congratulated Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State for his victory at the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
The apex court declared Sheriff Oborevwori as the duly elected governor of the state in a unanimous judgement delivered on Thursday, after dismissing an appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, challenging the outcome of the governorship election held in the state on March 18, 2023.
