Kano, Former President of the Senate, David Mark on Sunday congratulated the Governor of Delta State, Mr Sheriff Oborevwori, following his governorship appeal victory at the Supreme Court.

“Your leadership has been instrumental in shaping the future of Delta State and I have no doubt that your election will pave the way for continued progress and prosperity.
“Your vision for your state, coupled with your ability to bring people together has undoubtedly resonated with the voters and I am confident that your tenure will bring even greater success and positive change for your state,” Mark said.
The former Senate President said that the legal battle that culminated in the triumph at the Supreme Court was a testament to Oborevwori’s resilience and unwavering determination to work for Delta people.
“Your ability to navigate through challenges and uphold the principles of justice and fairness is commendable and it is a true reflection of your character as a leader.
“As you embark on this new agenda for Delta State, I want to express my unwavering support and commitment to working alongside you to achieve your goals.
“Your victory is a victory for all of us who believe in progress, equality and justice.
“I have every confidence that under your leadership, Delta state will continue to thrive and flourish and I look forward to witnessing the positive impact of your continued efforts in the years to come,” he said.
