Daughter of former governor, James Ibori, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu (PDP-Delta), has described her victory in the battle for Ethiope Federal Constituency of Delta State seat as a triumph of democracy.
Ibori-Suenu said this in a statement she issued following her victory at the Court of Appeal in Lagos on Tuesday.
She described the ruling as a victory to God and her constituents, saying with the development, democracy has come to stay.
Ibori-Suenu had floored Mr Ben Rolands Igbakpa and Mr Halims Ahoda of the NNPP and APC respectively, in the February 2023 election.
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.
