Edo youth advocate, Andrew Enantomhen on Monday congratulated the candidate of the PDP in the forthcoming Edo State Governorship election, Asue Ighodalo on his Appeal Court victory.
Describing the victory, Andrew Enantomhen said it is a victory for decency and what is right. He further said it is a victory for “fairness, justice and equity”.
Speaking to Philip Shuaibu, the appellant in the case, Andrew Enantomhen said he should “rest and let peace reign in Edo State.”
“With all due respect to the impeached and therefore former Deputy Governor, we think it is time for him to put an end to his dramas and let Edo State move forward. We thank him for his past public services as a State but we must not let him hold our dear State to ransom. He is not the first Deputy Governor to fall out with his principal and be removed from office for obvious reasons as it fits the wisdom of the House of Assembly, and he will not be the last.
“Asue Ighodalo is the incoming Governor of Edo State. Today the Appeal Court affirmed Asue Ighodalo as the duly elected gubernatorial candidate of the PDP. Now, Philip Shaibu should let us focus on the campaigns and stop his wild goose chase that is leading to nowhere. We need peace in Edo State and the peace is non-negotiable and Philip Shaibu must respect that fact and rest, and let Edo State move forward in peace,” Andrew Enantomhen said.
