In a landmark ruling, the Edo State Election Petition Tribunal, sitting in Abuja, has affirmed the victory of Senator Monday Okpebholo in the September 21st governorship election in Edo State.
The tribunal, in its judgment, dismissed the petition filed by the opposition parties, ruling that the petitioners failed to provide substantial evidence to support their claims.
The court held that they were unable to prove their allegations beyond a reasonable doubt, reinforcing the legitimacy of Senator Okpebholo’s electoral mandate.
This decision marks yet another resounding victory for Senator Okpebholo and his supporters, solidifying his position as the duly elected governor of Edo State.
The ruling not only validates the will of the people but also underscores the integrity of the electoral process.
With this legal hurdle cleared, Senator Okpebholo is now set to focus on delivering on his campaign promises and driving forward his vision for the development of Edo State.
