Edo State's Mandate Upheld: Tribunal Judgment Reinforces Okpebholo's Victory

Habiba Sam

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) the duly elected governor, having garnered 291,667 votes. 

His closest rival, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), secured 247,274 votes, while Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP) came third with 22,763 votes.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of Governor Okpebholo's victory, the opposition has attempted to clutch at legal straws, hoping for a courtroom miracle.

 However, elections are won at the polling units, not in tribunals. The people of Edo made their choice, and that choice has translated into a government delivering on its promises.

As the tribunal delivers its judgment, the people of Edo State should rest assured that their mandate remains intact. 

The opposition may seek to create doubt, but the truth remains unshaken—Senator Monday Okpebholo is the choice of the people, and he will continue to lead Edo State towards a brighter future.
