SUPREME COURT VERDICT: I Am Not Surprise At Obaseki's Victory - Tenebe

By The9jaTrend

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo North Senatorial District,  Hon. Henry  Duke Tenebe  has  lashed out at the APC leaders in the State for leading their people on a journey destined for nowhere.

Heaving a sigh of relief on the outcome of the court ruling, a visibly excited Hon. Tenebe, a former State Organising Secretary of the PDP, declared his faith in the ability of the judiciary and that the good people of Edo State were not in any way surprised at the verdict of the Supreme Court.

In a press statement issued and signed by Hon. Tenebe and made available to newsmen reads, "The APC leaders knew from the onset that they were on a wild goose chase but refused to retrace their steps because of ego and pride.  Now that their ego have been fatally bruised, one wonders what their next line of action would be."

The Supreme Court had, in a landmark ruling delivered  in Abuja, upheld an earlier judgement reaffirming Godwin Obaseki as Edo State governor. 

He enjoined APC leaders in the State to stop using the court cases to hoodwink its members, noting that they would always meet their Waterloo since they have chosen to be "bad losers". 

Referring to the futility of the APC's attempt to unseat a God ordained and Edo people sanctioned governor, Hon. Tenebe ascribed the APC desperation to an iroko tree which those who tried to shake it  found themselves shaken by its might and awe. 

He further described the Supreme Court verdict as a vindication of the will of God and the people of Edo state.

Governor Obaseki had earlier in his victory statement corroborated the position of Hon. Tenebe, when he said that the ruling has put to rest the "diabolical controversy contrived by opposition elements over my credentials and out to shame the individuals that sought to swindle Edo people with falsehood and lies in pursuit of pecuniary gains".  

Hon. Tenebe congratulated the  Governor Obaseki and his deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu on their deserved victory and enjoined Edo people to continue to render undiluted understanding and support as the administration strives to turn the State into an economic hub.
