PDP governorship candidate Asue Ighodalo has expressed deep disappointment over the Supreme Court’s ruling affirming Monday Okpebholo’s victory, calling it a betrayal.
In a statement released shortly after the verdict, Ighodalo said while he respects the court’s finality, the judgment does not reflect true justice. He described the election as a “coordinated robbery” now tragically endorsed by the apex court.
”While I will not and cannot obstruct any judicial pronouncement, no matter how flawed, I must never fear to speak truth to power,” he said.
According to him, like you, I feel a deep sense of betrayal.
”Not just by those who rigged the process, but by the very institutions we trusted to protect our democracy.
”You came out in hope. You voted for competence, for progress, for prosperity and now, we are told that your voice does not matter.
”That your freely given mandate can be trampled without consequence.
”I feel your pain. I share your anger. And I will never forget your courage”, he said.
