*__Congratulatory Message from Hon. Evbareke Jenkins Osunde*
*(Immediate Past Chairman of Oredo Local Government Council)*
*__"From the September 2020 Electoral Affirmation to the May 2021 Supreme Court Verdict, Governor Obaseki Has Triumphed Each and Every Step of the Way With Illuminating Milestones of Political and Legal Victories that Will Remain Unforgettable in Chronicles of Edo State History."*
The immediate past Chairman of Oredo Local Government Council, *Hon. Evbareke Jenkins Osunde* has described the victory of Governor Obaseki at the Supreme as the ‘’crowning glory of the unequivocal expression of confidence by Edo State voters in September 2020 regarding the intellectual fitness and political capacity of the Governor to lead them for a second term. With overwhelming electoral delivery, the people spoke and made their choice, now very pleasantly, the Supreme Court has equally legitimized the voice of the people which was the voice of God.’’
*Hon. Osunde’s* statement was contained in a congratulatory message to the *Obaseki/Shaibu team* made available to the media in Benin this evening.
According to the former Council Chairman,’’ the nearly 10 months of legal acrobatics and somersaulting by the APC and other ‘’hired’’ minor parties to attempt a sabotage against the will of the people has come to an inglorious and disgraceful end.’’
Hon. Osunde also remarked that "the continuing efforts of the APC plaintiffs to hang on to the case, after losing at the Election Tribunal, the High Court and several attempts at the Appeal Court, was a sinister and hallucinatory adventure which was bound to end in a political nightmare for the APC.’’
Somehow, the APC leaders and its governorship candidate thought that the apex jurisdiction would not see the same legal disabilities and the pitiful absence of evidentiary substance that the lower courts noted in the case against the Governor, or perhaps, the APC leaders thought that they could through some surreptitious twists emerge with an unprecedented miracle of victory *Hon. Osunde* observed.’’
’But that is not how the true God of miracles works’’, the former Council Chairman noted.
*Hon. Osunde* said that the Governor has continued to focus on delivering the dividends of Democracy to the people of Edo State even during these APC- contorted legal crisis.
It can therefore only be imagined the level of acceleration that that Edo people will witness in project implementation now that the nearly ten-month APC–engineered obstacles on the path of progress have been finally cleared by the Supreme Court’’, Hon. Osunde predicted.
The ex-Council Chairman said that it was now time for all Edo people of good conscience, irrespective of their political affiliations, to reunite themselves with the visionary agenda and the progressive paradigm of action which are the hallmarks of the administration of *Governor Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki.*
