As the Edo State Governorship Election Tribunal begins substantive hearing of the petition filed by Asue Ighodalo and the Peoples Democratic Party, the Team Asue Media Organisation has described the development as a pivotal phase in the quest for electoral justice for the people of Edo State and Nigeria at large.
The petition is challenging the declaration of Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress as winner of the 2024 election.
In a statement by Erhabor Emokpae in Benin City on Monday, TAMO affirmed that Ighodalo and the PDP remain steadfast in their confidence in the judicial process and trust that the compelling evidence to be presented will show the truth and lead to a restoration of the democratic mandate of the Edo people.
TAMO further affirmed Ighodalo’s commitment “to peaceful and constructive engagement throughout the process, as he calls on all supporters of democratic values to remain undaunted and maintain civility, despite heightened emotions”.
It emphasised the need to hold institutions accountable, and counter any attempt at propaganda or violence with facts and transparency.
