the state was one of the best, free and fair, and this verdict will give our Governor

East PDP Chairman
On the part

More Agenda
Is For Continuity – Hon Hero, EA Security
Soft Spoken Executive
Assistant on Security to the Governor Hon Friday Okoh popularly known as Hero was full
of praise for the verdict.
“ Our gathering
here today is based on the Supreme Court Judgment, which is splendid. If you ask
me, I’d say its not new, because we all know APC won only 4 Local Government Areas
in the state out of 25, the Supreme Court did very well and have kept the name of
the Judiciary.
“ The victory
is a plus to us in the Local Government, because it means the More Agenda has come
to stay. The More Agenda is a continuation of where the previous administration
stopped, and former Governor Ifeanyi
Okowa did very well. Governor Sheriff pledged to continue the work and as you can
see, a lot of road projects are ongoing across
the state, and other things. That is the More Agenda and it is a plus to us., he
said.

Party

about the victory. He said “ Governor Sheriff is our own, and we are here to
celebrate him. For me the opposition was on an exercise in futility. We all
were here for the election and we knew the outcome of the election”.
“ You can’t
stay at home, stay in Abuja, not coming home, not contesting for your ticket,
not liaising with the people, having no relationship with the people and then
you come, and when election comes, you want to bulldoze the people to vote for
you? And when it turns wrong for you, you run to court, thinking you can
purchase justice?
“ In the new
Nigeria we are having today, these things are no longer feasible. We thank God
for the Judiciary and give kudos to them.
Speaking on behalf
of Ika Chiefs, Chief Oni Agbogbu said “ I’m not surprised because I know he won
that election and he deserved it. He is a good man and God has delivered us today.

to hold on to God, and continue to do what he is doing.
