The Friends of Hiliary (FOH), has urged constituents in Delta North to put behind them the recent court ruling that struck out Senator Ned Nwoko’s suit challenging the victory of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa in the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary, saying the district has more pressing issues demanding attention.
The group said the Federal High Court’s decision, which reportedly described the suit as incompetent, should bring an end to the legal dispute and allow political actors and the electorate to focus on the task of rebuilding Delta North.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, FOH maintained that the people of the district stand to gain more by concentrating on development and effective representation rather than prolonged political contests. 
According to the group, Delta North has lost valuable time over the past three years and now requires a united effort to recover missed opportunities and reposition the senatorial district for sustainable progress.
“The issues confronting our people are far too serious for us to continue dwelling on a suit that has already been struck out by the court,” the statement said.
FOH urged constituents to look beyond partisan disagreements and embrace what it described as the bigger picture of restoring quality representation, attracting development projects and ensuring that the interests of Delta North occupy the front burner of national discourse.
The group also called on political stakeholders across party lines to avoid actions capable of deepening divisions within the district, insisting that the welfare of the people should take precedence over personal political ambitions.
It said the court’s ruling should serve as an opportunity to close the chapter on the primary election dispute and redirect energy toward initiatives that would improve the lives of the people.
FOH reaffirmed its support for Senator Okowa, expressing confidence in his capacity to provide purposeful leadership and work with all stakeholders to advance the interests of Delta North.
