Lawmaker representing Ethiope West/Ethiope East federal constituency of Delta State in the House of Representatives, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, has dedicated her victory at the Court of Appeal, in Lagos to the people in her constituency.
Ibori-Suenu, daughter of James Ibori, a former Delta State governor and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, described the ruling as a victory to God and her constituents.
According to her, with the development, democracy has come to stay.
Ibori-Suenu won Mr Ben Rolands Igbakpa and Mr Halims Ahoda of the New Nigeria People’s Party and the All Progressives Congress respectively in the February 2023 general elections.
Justices Festus Ogbuinaya, Jumia Samchi and Waziri delivered the judgement on November 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 ruled against her.
She further urged her supporters to be law-abiding and be magnanimous in victory.
