The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed confidence that the Edo State governorship election petition tribunal will restore what it called its “stolen mandate.”
Tony Azeigbemi, the PDP acting chairman, made this statement on Tuesday in Benin City while briefing journalists on the current situation in Edo State.
Azeigbemi claimed that since Governor Monday Okpebholo and the All Progressives Congress (APC) took office three months ago, the people of Edo have faced hardship, suffering, and insecurity.

He further stated that the PDP has presented solid documentary evidence at the tribunal “which we believe has outrightly expose the electoral heist of September 21, 2024.”
“So, having adopted our final written addresses and watertight evidence, we are confident that the tribunal will right the wrong and return the mandate which Edo people duly gave to our party and its candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo,” he said.
He stated that the APC acting chairman, Jarret Tenabe, and Senator Adams Oshiomhole, in separate TV interviews, had claimed that the PDP submitted documents to the tribunal without providing sufficient witnesses, adding that “the APC leadership lacks the acumen to read and understand our petition”.
“It is the members of the tribunal who possess the expertise and acumen to thoroughly examine and understand our petition, not the APC leadership” he said.
