Edo Guber: PDP Files Petition At Tribunal, Insists Mandate Stolen

Published

on

The Edo State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Anthony Aziegbemi says the party has successfully filed a petition against what he described as the September 21 governorship election robbery, noting that the party is confident of reclaiming its alleged stolen mandate.

Aziegbemi made this known while briefing newsmen on Monday, in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

EDITOR’S PICK:

The party also alleged a devious ploy of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to stall the order given by a competent Court for the PDP, to inspect election materials at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at Aduwawa, and were tactical, thereby beating the APC to its own game.

“We have begun the journey to reclaim the people’s mandate and a petition has been filed before the Edo State Election Tribunal. Against all odds, the petition has been filed as APC’s plan is for us not to successfully file the petition. The mandate given to PDP will be reclaimed.

“We have put our fingers where the problem is and the election tribunal will surely give us our mandate based on overwhelming evidence before them,” the PDP chair said.

Aziegbemi also alleged that while the PDP was busy gathering evidence to pursue its case at the tribunal, the APC and its chairman, Jarret Tenebe were lying and spreading falsehood to actualise the evil ploy of the APC.

FURTHER READING:

On the release of PDP chieftains arrested before the elections, Aziegbemi said, “Before the election, most of our members were arrested by a special unit of the Nigerian Police from Abuja. It might interest you to note that most of the guys have been released as they paid cumulatively about N64 million and the police said bail is free.

On his part, the Director General of the Edo State PDP Governorship Campaign Council, Mathew Iduoriyekemwen said, “Democracy gives us the constitutional right to vote for who will lead us and that constitutional right can’t be denied Edo people; that is why we have taken steps to pursue our case to a logical conclusion.”
