The Peoples Democratic Party has hailed the Court of Appeal judgment which on Monday reaffirmed the nomination of Dr. Asue Ighodalo as its candidate for the September 21, 2024 Edo State governorship election.
A statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, described the judgment as another momentous victory for democracy.
The PDP also described it as victory for the rule of law against anti-democratic forces which sought to undermine and trample on the will of the people of Edo State as symbolised by the candidature of Ighodalo.
It said: “The Appeal Court judgment has again validated the credibility of the PDP nomination process which produced Ighodalo as its candidate.
“The judgment effectively shut the mouths of purveyors of lies and falsehood, who were confused and frustrated by Ighodalo’s soaring popularity and acceptance by the people of Edo.
“The spontaneous jubilation across Edo at the news of the judgement on Monday, is a resounding testament of the overwhelming support of the majority of the people in the state for Ighodalo.
