The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has hailed the judgement of the Court of Appeal, which unanimously re-affirmed the nomination of Asue Ighodalo as its candidate in the September 2024 Edo State governorship election.
The party said the judgement is another momentous victory for democracy and the rule of law against anti-democratic forces seeking to trample on the will of the people of Edo State.
This was made known on Monday in a statement by Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of PDP.
“The Appeal Court judgement again validates the credibility of the PDP nomination process which produced Asue Ighodalo as its candidate.
“This effectively shut the mouths of purveyors of lies and falsehood in the APC who are confused and frustrated by Asue Ighodalo’s soaring popularity and acceptance by the people of Edo State including key APC members who are publicly declaring support for the PDP candidate
“The spontaneous jubilation across Edo State at the news of the judgement is a resounding testament of the overwhelming support of the majority of the people in the state which further signposts the forthcoming sweeping victory by Dr Asue Ighodalo whose personality and manifesto embody the collective vision and aspiration of the people of Edo State.
“The APC, its candidate, Monday Okpebholo and his propaganda team, led by Adams Oshiomhole should therefore read the handwriting on the wall and come to terms with the fact of the crushing defeat that awaits them at the poll.
“The APC should know that the people of Edo State have made up their minds on Dr Asue Ighodalo as the next governor of their state and cannot be swayed by the propaganda, lies, manipulations by the APC whose candidate is practically empty, purposeless, uninspiring and has nothing to offer to Edo State,” part of the statement read.
