The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Edo Chapter, Jarret Tenebe, has lauded the Supreme Court judgement, affirming Gov. Monday Okpebholo’s election.
In a statement issued shortly after the judgment on Thursday in Abuja, Tenebe expressed gratitude to the judiciary and the electorate, describing the judgment as a “confirmation of the people’s will.”
According to him, the judgment marks a “double celebration” for him as it coincided with his daughter’s graduation.
“I am so happy today because the judgment of the Supreme Court affirming the election of Gov. Monday Okpebholo came the same day as my little girl Somi’s graduation.
“It is a double celebration for me,” Tenebe stated.
The APC chairman commended Edo voters, whom he credited with securing the administration’s ongoing development efforts.
“If not for them, we would not be getting the development we are experiencing today.
“Now, the state will witness even more progress under Gov. Okpebholo,” he said.
Tenebe also praised the judiciary, saying that it had truly proven to be the last hope of the common man.
“Edo people are the common man,” he said.
