Edo PDP Congratulates Obaseki, Hails Court’s Verdict

Obaseki APC Edo

People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has congratulated the State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, over his victory at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and one of its members in Edo, Williams Edobor, had in a suit alleged that Obaseki forged the University of Ibadan degree certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in aid of his qualification for the September 19, 2020, governorship election in Edo.

In the suit marked FHC/B/CS/74/2020, the Plaintiffs equally alleged that there were discrepancies in the subjects that the governor claimed he passed in his West African Examination Council (WAEC) examination and subjects in his testimonial.

But in a judgment on Saturday, the court dismissed the suit, holding that plaintiffs failed to prove their allegations. It held that Obaseki was qualified to contest in the election.

Reacting in a statement, State Publicity Secretary, PDP, Chris Osa Nehikhare, said the verdict was a testimony to the fact that Obaseki’s government was enthroned by the wish of Edo people and had the blessings of God.

He advised the APC to join the government in building the state instead of engaging in “falsehood, social greed, intellectual imbecility and pathological irresponsibility.”

“Edo PDP congratulate Governor Godwin Obaseki on the resounding victory he recorded in the Federal High Court Abuja. It is a testimony to the fact that this government was enthroned by the wish of Edo people and had the blessings of God,” the statement read.

“We advised APC that it was again traveling the road of ignominy instead of joining the government to build a society where hard work is rewarded, where hate should be condemned and love for a prosperous state the driving spirit of our being. Our advice was ignored!

“It is now clear that Edo APC and the news and stories they propagate are built on falsehood, social greed, intellectual imbecility and pathological irresponsibility. Edo people are advised not to only punish them with their votes on election days, but to consider them public enemy number one henceforth!

“However, if Each and every one of them own up to their role, tender well-intentioned apologies and commit to be of good character, show respect to Edo people, toe the path of honour and have the decency of admitting to the fact that they spread lies and concocted fake stories to sell their mandate and attempted to dupe the courts, Edo people may show some mercy. After all, Governor Obaseki is a reasonable man. Edo people are reasonable people.

“It is the most honourable thing to do; it is the most noble step to take.

“Governor Obaseki, we once again congratulate you and the good and patient people of Edo State as your RESETTING EDO agenda moves to the next level.”

Obaseki, who was elected on the platform of the APC in 2016 was denied the party’s ticket for a second term in 2020 due to intra-party wrangling.
