On Thursday, the Delta State Government referred to claims that an appeals court had dismissed Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as fake news.
Contrary to rumors, it stated that the Abuja-based Appeal Court did not annul Governor Oborevwori’s election, as suggested by Labour Party, LP, Governorship Candidate Mr. Ken Pela.
Sir Festus Ahon, the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, commented on the matter and stated that the Appeal Court had just mandated that the tribunal hear the case.
The Labour Party’s Mr. Ken Pela was proclaimed the winner of the 2023 governorship election in Delta State by the Appeal Court, according to reports from a portion of the media, according to a statement from Ahon.

“The report is nothing but fake news as the Appellate Court only ordered the tribunal to hear the case.
“From the results declared by the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, it was obvious that the Labour Party did not win the election therefore couldn’t have won in court.
“Our people came out in large numbers to elect Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and they are happy with him. We, therefore, urge Party faithful and Deltans to disregard the said reports as it was a concoction from the Labour Party and their followers.
“We also urge Deltans to remain calm. As at the time of the fake news, Governor Oborevwori was busy inspecting various ongoing projects within Asaba and its environs. He is focused on delivering dividends of democracy to the people of the state and would not be distracted by the rumour mills.
“Our lawyers are studying the Appeal Court judgment with a view to taking necessary action.”
