Obaseki's Supreme court victory: we are not surprise_ Tenebe

By DADA AYOKHAI

 A  state PDP chieftain, Hon Henry  Duke Tenebe  has  lashed out at the APC leaders in the state for leading their people on a  journey destined for nowhere.

Heaving a sigh of relief on the outcome of the court ruling, a visibly excited Hon Tenebe, a former state Organising Secretary of the PDP, declared his faith in the ability of the judiciary and that the good people of Edo State were not in any way surprised at the verdict of the Supreme Court.
 According to Hon Tenebe in a press statement , added that the APC leaders  knew from the onset that  they were on a wild goose chase but refused "to retrace their steps because of  ego and pride, adding that now that their ego have been fatally bruised  one wonders  what their next line of action would be."
The Supreme Court had, in a landmark ruling delivered  in Abuja, upheld an earlier judgement reaffirming Godwin Obaseki as Edo State governor. 

He enjoined APC leaders in the state to stop using the court cases to hoodwink its members, noting that they would always meet their Waterloo since they have chosen to be "bad losers". 

 
Referring to the futility of the APC's attempt to unseat a God ordained and Edo people sanctioned governor, Hon Tenebe ascribed the APC desperation to an iroko tree which those who tried to shake it  found themselves shaken by its might and awe. 

He further described the Supreme Court verdict as a vindication of the will  of God and the people of Edo state.

Governor Obaseki had earlier in his victory statement corroborated the position of Hon Tenebe, when he said that the ruling has put to rest the "diabolical controversy contrived by opposition elements over my credentials and out to shame the individuals that sought to swindle Edo people with falsehood and lies in pursuit of pecuniary gains".  

Hon Tenebe congratulated the  Gov Obaseki and his deputy, Hon Shaibu on their well  deserved victory and enjoined Edo people to continue to render undiluted understanding and support as the administration strives to turn the state into an economic hub.
