Alex Enumah writes that the People’s Democratic Party’s candidate in the September, 2024 governorship poll in Edo State, Mr Asue Ighodalo is heading to the Supreme Court to appeal the judgements of both the Appeal Court and Tribunal which upheld the election of Senator Monday Okpebholo as the State Governor.
Few hours after the Court of Appeal in Abuja, dismissed his appeal against the judgment of the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, for lacking in merit, candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 21, 2024 governorship election in Edo State, MrAsueIghodalo vowed to approach the apex court for further redress.
Faulting the judgment which further validated the election of Senator Monday Okpebholo as Edo State Governor, Ighodalo expressed disappointment, lamenting that just as the tribunal the judgment of the appellate court failed to “address the grave concerns we raised regarding widespread acts of non compliance with, and clear violations of the Electoral Act”.
