The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the Edo State governorship election, Asue Ighodalo, to sheathe his sword following the Governor of Edo State, Sen. Monday Okpebholo’s victory at the appeal court
TheHintsNews reports that the three-man panel of the Appeal Court on Thursday upheld the judgement of the Edo State Governorship Tribunal that earlier affirmed the victory of Okpebholo in the September 21, 2024, governorship election.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka in a statement issued Friday urged Ighodalo to join Okpebholo in his unyielding efforts to bring meaningful development to the state, for the good of all.
The ruling party also applauded the judiciary for its display of independence and professionalism in its decision, again, affirming the will of the good people of Edo State.
Morka noted: “We are confident that this victory will serve as a fillip for the Governor, whose transformational leadership is resonating across the state, to double down on delivering the dividends of democracy to Edo people.
“We urge the People Democratic Party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, to sheath his sword, and join the Governor in his unyielding efforts to bring meaningful development to the state, for the good of all.”
