The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Council for the Sept. 21 governorship election in Edo, on Wednesday hailed the judgment affirming the candidacy of Dr Asue Ighodalo.
It would be recalled that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Wednesday affirmed Ighodalo as the duly nominated and authentic Governorship Candidate of the PDP for the election.
In a statement, Rev. Olu Martins, then deputy director general, Media and Publicity of the council, said those looking for the back door into Osadebey Avenue (seat of government) had further been weakened by the judgment.
“The campaign council rejoices with our teaming supporters and party members and leaders, who continued to brace the odds against the forces of lies and falsehood, which constantly oozes from the stable of the opposition.
“Long live the People’s Democratic Party, Long live Edo State and Long live Dr Asue Ighodalo and Barrister Osarodion Ogie. Like Dim Ojukwu says, on aburi we stand, on Dr Asue Ighodalo we stand,” he said.
