PDP: Appeal court’s ruling on Ighodalo’s candidature a momentous victory
Debo Ologunagba, PDP national publicity secretary, said in a statement on Monday that the court ruling has shut the mouth of peddlers of lies against Ighodalo.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hailed the judgement of the court of appeal ruling which re-affirmed the nomination of Asue Ighodalo as its candidate in the September 21 governorship election in Edo state.
Debo Ologunagba, PDP national publicity secretary, said in a statement on Monday that the court ruling has shut the mouth of peddlers of lies against Ighodalo.
“Today’s judgement by the Court of Appeal is another momentous victory for Democracy and the Rule of Law against the All Progressives Congress (APC) anti-democratic forces which sought to undermine and trample on the Will of the people of Edo State as symbolized in the candidature of Dr. Asue Ighodalo,” the statement reads.
“The Appeal Court judgement again validates the credibility of the PDP nomination process which produced Dr. Asue Ighodalo as its candidate.
“This effectively shut the mouths of purveyors of lies and falsehood in the APC who are confused and frustrated by Dr. Asue Ighodalo’s soaring popularity and acceptance by the people of Edo State, including key APC members who are publicly declaring support for the PDP candidate.
“The spontaneous jubilation across Edo State at the news of the judgement is a resounding testament of the overwhelming support of the majority of the people in the state which further signposts the forthcoming sweeping victory by Dr. Asue Ighodalo whose personality and manifesto embody the collective vision and aspiration of the people of Edo State.
“The APC, its candidate, Monday Okpebholo and his propaganda team, led by Adams Oshiomhole should therefore read the handwriting on the wall and come to terms with the fact of the crushing defeat that awaits them at the poll.
“The APC should know that the people of Edo State have made up their minds on Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the next Governor of their State and cannot be swayed by the propaganda, lies, manipulations by the APC whose candidate is practically empty, purposeless, uninspiring and has nothing to offer to Edo State Signed: Hon. Debo Ologunagba National Publicity Secretary.”
