The All Progressives Congress (APC) has applauded the ruling of the Edo State Governorship Election Tribunal, which upheld the victory of its candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, in the September 21, 2024, gubernatorial election.
In a statement issued on Thursday, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described the judgment as a landmark decision that validates the overwhelming support of Edo voters for the party. He emphasized that the tribunal’s verdict is a testament to the will of the people and the credibility of Nigeria’s democratic process.
“We commend the judiciary for its well-reasoned decision, which reinforces its independence and commitment to upholding democracy,” Morka stated.
The party also expressed appreciation to the people of Edo State for their unwavering support and patience throughout the electoral process and legal proceedings. APC urged Governor Okpebholo to remain steadfast in delivering good governance and implementing the Renewed Hope Agenda championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Reaffirming its confidence in the governor’s leadership, APC noted that Okpebholo’s administration has already begun transforming Edo State with developmental projects and policies that align with the party’s progressive vision.
The statement further lauded President Tinubu for his exceptional leadership and commitment to strengthening the party and Nigeria’s democracy.
With this victory at the tribunal, APC called on all stakeholders in Edo State to support Governor Okpebholo’s administration in advancing the state’s development and prosperity.
