The All Progressives Congress in Edo State, Southern part of Nigeria cruised to a stunning victory at the appellate court today with celebrations done in public places.

It happened that the Court of Appeal sitting in Benin, Edo State, on Friday dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, challenging the emergence of Godwin Obaseki as ‎winner of the September 28, 2016, governorship poll.

The five-man panel, led by Justice M. B. Dongban Mensem, also dismissed a cross appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress against the PDP.

The Justice Ahmed Badamasi-led tribunal had on April 14 dismissed the petition of Ize-Iyamu and the PDP for lack of merit and upheld the declaration of ‎Obaseki as Governor by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

But the PDP and its candidate had filed a 41-ground appeal against the tribunal’s judgment while Obaseki filed a cross appeal on four grounds.

However, the appellate court, in a unanimous judgement read by Justice M. O. Bolaji-Yusuf, said that the decision of the tribunal was unassailable.

It explained that the tribunal did a “thorough” consideration of the issues raised by the appellants. The court, therefore, dismissed the appeal for lack of merit.

The PDP candidate, however, did not rule out the possibility of heading for the Supreme Court.

Former President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Adams Oshiomhole was in high spirits as he joined Obaseki and their supporters to celebrate the victory on the streets.
