Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, has urged a former
Governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole, not to subvert the will of the people
and jettison the plan to overturn the victory of Governor Godwin Obaseki at the
September 2020 governorship election through the judiciary.
Shaibu, during an empowerment programme for Afemai Youths in
Ogbona and Jattu respectively at the weekend, reaffirmed confidence in the
judiciary and the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to protect
the nation’s democracy and the collective will of Edo people.
The deputy governor said Oshiomhole was instrumental to the
Supreme Court victory of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State and alleged he was
ready to do the same to upturn the popular victory of Obaseki in Edo State.
He said, “The Nigeria Judiciary is known to be among the best in the world, therefore, Oshiomhole’s utterance is a mere crying of a beaten baby and he must be made aware that Edo is not Imo State.
“Now that he has vowed to test the collective will of the
good people of Edo State by attempting to subvert their will through a
questionable judicial arrangement, he will obviously not to be tolerated by the
managers of our judiciary.
“The victory of Governor Godwin Obaseki is a victory for
Nigeria’s democracy and it was the first election in Nigeria where all political
parties came together to vote for one candidate for the overall development of
the state.”
