THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that yesterday’s Court of Appeal decision, which unanimously affirmed the eligibility of its candidate in the Edo State Governorship election on September 21, 2024, Asue Ighodalo, is another resounding victory for the state’s people’s collective will and aspirations.
In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the Party commended the Appeal Court decision that verified the genuineness of Ighodalo’s INEC Voter’s Card as another victory for truth over the APC’s lies, falsehoods, and propaganda.
“The pronouncement of the Appeal Court that the litigation against Dr. Asue Ighodalo was bereft of merit and based on flawed assumption further validates the position of the PDP that the several court cases instituted against Dr. Asue Ighodalo were contrived, frivolous and only aimed at distracting our candidate and the people of Edo State.
“It is public knowledge that the APC was desperate to stop Dr. Asue Ighodalo with multiple court cases knowing that its candidate, Monday Okpebholo, who is practically empty, purposeless and uninspiring is no match for the PDP candidate at the poll.
“Today’s judgement of the Court of Appeal has therefore practically brought the APC to its knees and wits end. The APC, its candidate, Monday Okpebholo and his propaganda machine, led by Adams Oshiomhole should counsel themselves as it is not too late for the APC to withdraw from the race.
“Our Party commends the people of Edo State for their support for the PDP and Dr. Asue Ighodalo and urges them to remain resolute and vigilant we collectively coast to victory, come September 21, 2024,” the statement said.
