Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, disclosed on Sunday that a total of 19 cases presided over by 77 justices were instituted against him by his political opponents since May 29, 2007 when he assumed office.
Uduaghan made the disclosure at a special thanksgiving service to celebrate his recent victory at the Supreme Court in the suit instituted against him by the gubernatorial candidate of the Democratic Peoples Party in the 2011 governorship polls, Chief Great Ogboru.
Dr. Uduaghan promised at the thanksgiving service, which held at the First Baptist Church, Warri to donate the N2m costs awarded in his favour against counsel to Ogboru by the Supreme Court, to the church.
According to the Governor, the thanksgiving service was held to appreciate God who had given him victories in the several cases that were instituted against him by his political opponents since his emergence as the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the 2007 governorship polls.
“For us, this thanksgiving is very important and critical. If you know our political history, since 2007 it has been a long struggle.
“We had 19 cases within the last seven years and a total of 77 judges were involved and I hear that is the highest recorded number of cases in Nigeria today against any politician,” Uduaghan said.
He said, “In all of these, it is not by the power of our lawyers or the knowledge of anyone but by the grace of God.
“In this last case, the Supreme Court imposed a fine and warned the lawyer never to bring the case to the court again.
“The case wasn’t my case, it was God’s case and I have told my lawyers to bring the two million naira fine in favour of me to this church because I dedicated the flag given to me as the PDP candidate for the election in this church.”ular.
