The Delta State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to appeal the court judgement sacking its governorship candidate, Sheriff Oborevwori, ahead of the 2023 gubernatorial election in the state.
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Thursday, nullified Oborevwori’s candidacy for 2023 governorship election, citing discrepancies in his documents.
The PDP, in a statement issued on Thursday by the party’s state Publicity Secretary, Dr Ifeanyi Osuoza, said the party would study the ruling and explore grounds for appeal.
The party further urged its supporters to “remain calm, unperturbed and law-abiding”.
The statement read in part: “The party has received the judgement of an Abuja Federal High Court against our gubernatorial candidate, Sheriff Oborevwori, on the grounds of discrepancies in his documents.

“We have already engaged our team of legal experts to critically study the ruling and explore grounds on which we can confidently approach the Court of Appeal.
“We want to therefore urge our teeming supporters and party faithful to remain calm, unperturbed and law-abiding.
“We assure them that we are quite confident in our conviction that justice will be done and we will get judgement at the Appellate Court.
“There is no cause for alarm,” the party stated.
