…Says It’s No Victor, No Vanquish The Friday, October 21, 2022 judgement of the Supreme Court on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship ticket for the 2023 general elections in Delta State must be seen by all as a clarion call to set aside all personal and group interests, unite as a family and present a formidable front to guarantee the victory of the PDP in the elections. The judgment which upheld Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori as the Delta State governorship candidate of our great Party, the PDP rather than Hon.

  The Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives strongly condemns the attack on Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Rally in Kaduna, Kaduna State capital on Monday, October 17, 2022 by thugs alleged to have been mobilized by certain interests in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
