As the Supreme Court is set to hear the appeal filed by the governorship the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Edo State gubernatorial election, Mr. AsueIghodalo, the people of the state are in hope that it will display courage, uphold the rule of law and the principles of democracy, Wale Igbintade writes.
Any moment from now, the Supreme Court will begin hearing on the appeal filed by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 21, 2024 Edo State gubernatorial election, Mr. AsueIghodalo. He is basically asking the court to nullify the victory of Governor Monday Okpebholo in the election.
Recall that the Court of Appeal in Abuja had recently affirmed Okpebholo’s election as the governor, and dismissing the petition filed by Ighodalo and the PDP.
