Oshiomhole’s S-Court victory confirms people’s support – Edo govt

Edo State Government, weekend, said Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s Supreme Court victory, Friday,  had further re-confirmed the overwhelming support he received from the people of the state during the July 14, 2012 governorship election.

Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr. Patrick Obahiagbon, who spoke to Vanguard, said the declaration by the Supreme Court that the educational qualification of the governor was a pre-election matter, was an indication that the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Gen. Charles Airhiavbere, engaged in a “legal macabre dance” when he decided to contest the result of the election in court.

Obahiagbon said: “It did not take much even for a casual legal observer to come to the irrefutable conclusion that the said case instituted by Airhiavbere had no merit and that was why, in the first instance, the Edo State PDP distanced itself from such vacuous exercise that had all the trappings of a distractive legal matter.

“It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that with the Supreme Court victory of the governor, the so called case before the Edo State election tribunal is already technically dead and now only waiting for a befitting burial ceremony and as soon as it is finally buried, when the election tribunal delivers judgment, the people of Edo State are on stand by to herald our governor into Government House with another triumphal entry redolent of the people’s governor and a democratic mahatma.
