2027 Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Candidate, Delta North Senatorial District, Hon. (Engr.) Victor Ochei, has disagreed with the judgment of the Federal High Court concerning the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking on the development on Saturday, the NDC candidate to represent the Delta North Senatorial District in the coming elections, said he remained confident that the issues arising from the judgment will be resolved through the due process of law as he said history reminds us that temporary setbacks do not define the outcome of a just cause.
According to Ochei, former Speaker, Delta State House Of Assembly, he holds the judiciary in the highest regard as an indispensable pillar of our democracy, except that every enduring democratic movement has faced moments of trial.
“I join the leadership of the NDC to respectfully disagreed with the judgment. I also acknowledge the position of the leadership of our great party to pursue every lawful and constitutional avenue in addressing this development, and I offer my unwavering support and solidarity as we collectively navigate this temporary setback.
“To my supporters, volunteers, political associates, sympathisers, and the good people of Delta North Senatorial District, I urge you to remain calm, steadfast, and focused. This is not the time for anxiety or discouragement.
“My aspiration has never been about politics for its own sake. It is founded on a sincere commitment to deliver quality representation, responsive leadership, and tangible opportunities for the sons and daughters of Delta North, beginning from our Senatorial District and extending to our people wherever they may be across Nigeria.
“That mission remains intact and will not be derailed by temporary legal challenges. I, therefore, encourage everyone to keep faith with the democratic process, continue strengthening our grassroots structures, deepen our engagement with the people, and remain focused on the bigger objective before us.
“Let no one be distracted. The ideals of justice, service, inclusion, and good governance that inspire our collective efforts are far greater than any momentary obstacle.
“I have absolute faith in the integrity of our judicial system and every confidence that, through the lawful processes available, this matter will ultimately reach a positive and logical conclusion for the party. Until then, let us remain united, hopeful, peaceful and resolute,” Ochei assured
