Verdict Announced: Witnesses Bribed with ₦30 Million to Influence Testimony - Ighodalo Expresses Fury, Plans Supreme Court Appeal
In the heated aftermath of the September 21, 2024, Edo State governorship election, the scene is shaking once more due to shocking revelations plaguing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC). Asue Ighodalo, the PDP's candidate, has gone public with allegations that the APC attempted to bribe his witnesses at the tribunal with a staggering sum of ₦30 million.
Ighodalo unveiled his accusations at a PDP stakeholders' gathering in Benin, marking a tense escalation of the post-election drama. Despite this turn of events, he highlighted the unwavering constancy of his witnesses and party members, expressing heartfelt gratitude for their unrelenting support.
"This battle we fight is no simple undertaking," he admitted. "But we promise to stand firm until we reclaim our mandate. I applaud our witnesses who refused the tantalizing offer of ₦30 million to sway their allegiance and remain steadfast with the party."
With an unwavering determination to vindicate himself and his party, Ighodalo has already embarked on the path to take their case to the Supreme Court. The PDP chieftain insists that the tribunal's decision was marred by injustice and will seek higher authority for a fair resolution.
"We will not back down, and we will pursue this matter until justice prevails. We trust in the divine justice of God to guide us and see us through. We must remain vigilant, unwavering in our purpose, and focused on the ultimate goal."
A staunch advocate of progress and development, Ighodalo is driven by a fierce determination to build upon the foundations laid by former Governor Lucky Igbinedion. He claims that when they regain their mandate, they will continue the mission, ensuring a sustainable future for all Edo State residents.
"Lucky Igbinedion has paved the way for prosperity in this state, and we will pick up where he left off. Our commitment remains steadfast, and we vow to perform to the best of our ability, ensuring that every Edo citizen will thrive in the years to come."
