Youth advocate and one of the front runners of ALIGN Movement, Andrew Enantomhen has expressed optimism that Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the PDP in the 2024 Edo State Governorship election will be declared winner by the court.
Speaking in Benin City, Asue Ighodalo reminded everyone about Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central Senatorial zone of Kogi State who against all odds retrieved her mandate through the court.
“In Edo State, I expect our case to be similar. We have the legitimate votes, we have presented them in the case filed at the Edo State Governorship Election Tribunal.
“We expect nothing less than a successful case as our lawyers are fully briefed and ready to prove our case up to the highest court in Nigeria.
“Asue Ighodalo’s mandate just like Senator Natasha’s mandate will be retrieved in some weeks time at the Tribunal and the courts. Our case is as strong as that. We have absolute faith in the case and in the experience of our lawyers,” Andrew Enantomhen said.
“If Adams Oshiomole can retrieve his mandate from Prof. Osumbor, I am very optimistic that with the evidence at hand, the Judiciary will definitely use this Asue case to redeem their image,” Andrew Enantomhen said.
“We urge all our supporters and the supporters of Asue Ighodalo to be patient as efforts are ongoing by good men and good women to help Asue Ighodalo retrieve his mandate in court,” Andrew Enantomhen further said.
“We use this opportunity to call on our youths to be prayerful, and to continue to show open solidarity for ‘the Man Wey Sabi’.
We the young people are going to stand by Asue till our mandate is reclaimed,” Andrew Enantomhen said.
