For some time now the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki and the All Progressive People’s party (APC) have been in court over a case of certificate Forgery that was instituted against Obaseki by APC. However, the judge presiding over the case in Abuja high court finally gave a verdict and he dismissed the case against Obaseki citing that substantial evidence wasn’t provided by the APC to validate their allegation.
See the what the judge said in the screenshots below.
Shortly after the high court in Abuja verdict was given, Atiku Abubakar sent his congratulations to Obaseki on his official Twitter account. See what he said.
“I congratulate Governor Obaseki for his victory in the frivolous suit brought against him for certificate forgery. Kudos to our great party PDP and the good people of Edo State for standing firmly by the governor, and protecting their electoral mandate from being torpedoed by anti-democratic forces.”
I believe this is another victory for both PDP and Governor Godwin Obaseki who won the last Edo state gubernatorial election despite defecting from his former party to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) close to the election. PDP will also be grateful that the case against Obaseki Didn’t yield any fruits as Edo state will most certainly be in their plans ahead of 2023.
