The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party
in the September 28 election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has
rejected the ruling of the state governorship election petitions tribunal,
which dismissed his petition challenging the declaration of Godwin Obaseki of
the All Progressives Congress as winner of the poll.
Ize-Iyamu also vowed to not only appeal the judgment but
also pursue his case up to the Supreme Court.
The tribunal had in a unanimous ruling read by the Chairman
of the three-man panel, Justice Ahmed Badamasi, dismissed the petition for lack
of merit and upheld the election of Obaseki.
