By The9jaTrend

The leadership of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) at the Local Government and Ward levels in Edo State has condemned the decision of the party governorship candidate in the just concluded Edo gubernatorial election, Mr Iboi Emmanuel challenging the eligibility of the candidacy of Governor Godwin Obaseki at the tribunal.

The party position was contained in a  communiqué issued after a stakeholders meeting which took place at the party secretariat in Benin.

According to the communique signed by Chief Great Omoruyi, Uhunmwode LGA Party Chairman and Mr. Joseph Imarhiagbe, Egor Ward 1 Chairman for and on behalf of LGA Party Chairmen and Ward Chairmen respectively, condemned in strong terms the decision of Iboi Emmanuel to approach the Edo Election Petition Tribunal seeking the nullification of the election of Governor Godwin  Obaseki.

"We viewed this action very seriously against Mr. Iboi Emmanuel as the party never contemplated tribunal option at any of its meeting after the election.

"We also wish to pass a Vote of Implicit Confidence in the leadership quality of our most respected State Chairman, Mr. Gabriel Oloruntobi, who has piloted the affairs of the party with little or nothing to this enviable level.

"We hope the National Secretariat of our great party will see reasons with our position and allow peace to reign in the party in the state," the statement opined.
