Mr Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Candidate in the September 2024 governorship election in Edo, says he feels a deep sense of betrayal in the Supreme Court judgment delivered today.
Ighodalo, in his reaction to the apex court verdict, on Thursday, said though he accepted the finality of the judgment, “I do not and cannot pretend that what was delivered amounts to justice.”
He spoke in a statement he personally signed and a copy made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
”My dear people of Edo State, today, the Supreme Court has ruled.
”What happened in the September 2024 Governorship Election was not a contest.
”It was a robbery. Coordinated. Deliberate. And now, tragically validated by the highest court in the land.
”While I will not and can not obstruct any judicial pronouncement, no matter how flawed, I must never fear to speak truth to power,” he said.
