Monday Okpebholo, governor of Edo, has commended the judgment of the state governorship tribunal that affirmed his victory in the September 21, 2024, election.

On Wednesday, a three-member panel of the tribunal led by Wilfred Kpochi, a judge, ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Asue Ighodalo, failed to prove the allegations against the respondents.

The tribunal held that “no competent witnesses were called” by the petitioners to prove the averments in their petition.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Okpebholo, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as winner of the election.

Okpebholo polled 291,667 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Ighodalo of the PDP, who got 247,274 votes.

Ighodalo and PDP had approached the tribunal to challenge the outcome.

In a statement released by Fred Itua, his chief press secretary (CPS), Okphebolo asked Ighodalo and other members of the opposition parties to join hands with him for the progress of Edo state.

The governor commended the people of the state for their support and “belief in his vision for a prosperous and united state”.

He added that his administration “remains focused on delivering on its campaign promises and will not be distracted by frivolous litigation”.

“This victory is not mine alone, but a victory for every citizen and resident of Edo State,” the statement reads.

“It is a mandate to continue the work we have started, to build a state where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We remain committed to our promise of good governance, transparency, and inclusive development.”
