The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the Edo Governorship Election Tribunal’s judgment, affirming the electoral victory of Gov. Monday Okpebholo, as an affirmation of the will of Edo people.
Mr Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, who spoke in a statement on Thursday – yesterday, April 3 – in Abuja, the FCT, while congratulating Okpebholo, and his Deputy, Dennis Idahosa, on the court victory, said: “This landmark judgment validates the overwhelming support of the Edo electorate for APC’s candidate in the Sept. 21, gubernatorial election.
“It also stands as an affirmation of the popular will of the good people of Edo.
“We applaud the judiciary for its well reasoned decision in the matter, underscoring its independence, professionalism and commitment to strengthening democracy in our country.”
He expressed gratitude to the people of Edo for supporting the APC during the election, and for their patience and sustained support through the litigation, expressing confidence that the victory would further energise Okpebholo, who “is already saturating the state with good governance and dividends of democracy.”
Morka urged the Governor to do even more for the Edo electorate, and translate President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda into meaningful benefits for all in the state.
“We remain thankful to President Tinubu, our visionary and dogged achiever, for his exceptional leadership of our great party,” the APC spokesman said.
