The Action Alliance has hailed the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal over the dismissal of what the party called frivolous Petition by Adekunle Rufai Omoaje challenging the election of Gov. okphebolo of Edo State.
Chief Kenneth Udeze, the National Chairman of the party in a press statement on Thursday stated that the Action Alliance or its Governorship candidate in Edo State didn’t file any Election Petition challenging the emergence of Governor Okpehbolo .
According to the party, the dismissed Petition was a gold-digging attempt by some faceless individuals led by one Adekunle Omoaje, who was not the candidate of the party to bring the name of the party to disrepute.
The statement reads, “At no time did Action Alliance or its Governorship candidate in Edo State filed any Petition challenging the outcome of the election. The party is really taken aback by the report in the media. Let it be known to all that the said Adekunle Omoaje filed the worthless petition for himself and for his personal gold-digging mission and felt that dragging the name of Action Alliance into it would give him a leverage. Happily, he failed in his extortionist mission.”
Chief Kenneth Udeze congratulated Gov Okpohbolo over the victory and urged the general public to disregard the said Petition by one Adekunle Omoaje, whom he described as a mere gold-digger and unknown to the party. The party further noted that the judgment has thought Omoaje and his wishful followers that the judiciary remains the true conscience of the society and does not tolerate frivolity in the name of politics.
Action Alliance also congratulated Prof. Yakubu Mahmoud stating that the dismissal of the vexatious Petition by Omoaje is a clear testament of improvement in the electoral process and a vindication of Prof. Mahmoud as an unbiased umpire.
