REP. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu (PDP-Delta), 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)
