The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the last election, Asue Ighodalo, to take his appeal to God following the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Governor Monday Okpebholo’s victory.
In a statement, Edo APC Chairman Emperor Jarret Tenebe said Ighodalo would have to wait a long time for a divine response, as the priority now is fixing Edo State.

Tenebe, who hailed the Supreme Court verdict, assured that the state would witness accelerated development under Governor Okpebholo, noting that such progress would not have been possible if the people had not voted him into office.
According to him, “I wish to thank the judiciary because they have really proven they are the last hope of the common man. Edo State people are the common man.
“I also want to use this victory to thank our lawyers and Asue Ighodalo’s lawyers for encouraging him to waste his money from the lower court up to the Supreme Court.
“And I also want to thank Edo people who came out massively to vote Senator Monday Okpehbolo. If not, for them, we would not be getting this development in the state today. Now the state will witness more and more developments.”
He said whoever want to appeal the Supreme Court judgement have to go to heaven to meet God.
