The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the Edo Governorship Election Tribunal judgment, affirming Governor Monday Okpebholo’s electoral victory, as an affirmation of the will of the Edo people.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka, said this yesterday to congratulate Okpebholo and his Deputy, Dennis Idahosa, on the tribunal judgment.
“This landmark judgment validates the overwhelming support of the Edo electorate for APC’s candidate in the September 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,” Morka said.
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.
He also expressed confidence that the tribunal victory would further energise Okpebholo, who was already saturating the state with good governance and democratic dividends.
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.
