Jubilation in Edo APC as Leaked Tribunal Judgement Shows 2-1 Majority in Favour of Gov. Monday Okpebholo

Published

on

A storm of excitement swept through Edo APC circles late Sunday evening after what appeared to be a draft copy of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal’s judgment surfaced in a WhatsApp group populated by senior party stakeholders.

The document, which seems to mirror an official format, complete with judicial language, cited authorities, and even a breakdown of the votes in contention indicates a 2-1 majority ruling affirming the declaration of Monday Okpebholo as the duly elected Governor of Edo State.

After a rocky weekend where Gov. Okpebholo had his hands full managing a national crisis caused by the killings in Uromi, this must come as sweet music to his ears.

The draft judgment appears to have dismissed the petition filed by PDP’s Asue Ighodalo and his party on grounds of insufficient proof that non-compliance substantially affected the outcome of the election. Citing cases like Oyetola v. Adeleke and Atiku v. INEC, the judgment stated that while there was some evidence of irregularities, it wasn’t enough to overturn the INEC-declared result.

However, the leaked document also includes a fiery dissenting judgment by one of the Justices who found in favour of the PDP candidate, stating that substantial non-compliance had indeed occurred across over 500 polling units and that the recalculated votes clearly put Ighodalo ahead. His minority verdict called for INEC to nullify the current certificate of return and issue a new one to Ighodalo.

This tantalising peek behind the judicial curtain comes after the Tribunal Secretary had, on March 31st, formally notified all parties that judgment would be delivered on Tuesday, April 2nd. While it is uncommon, though not unprecedented, for judgments to leak, the ubiquity of social media apps like WhatsApp and Telegram has made such “accidental” document sharing nearly impossible to police.

For the APC, however, the mood is nothing short of triumphant. Sources say the party has already issued quiet directives to its acting Local Government Chairmen to mobilize five loyalists each from the state’s 18 LGAs to Abuja ostensibly for a “solidarity visit” but widely believed to be preparation for a full-blown celebration once the judgment is officially read in open court.

Meanwhile, within the PDP camp, the mood is said to be somber, with key figures choosing not to respond to inquiries about the upcoming judgment. One aide to the PDP State Chairman Aziegbemin privately expressed concern over “judicial mathsmagic,” adding cryptically, “We’ll wait for what is read in court, not what is forwarded on WhatsApp. APC are masters of propaganda. We will wait for the court to rule on Wednesday, then take it from there.”
