Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state, Col David Imuse (retd) said that the party would appeal Saturday’s ruling by the Federal High Court dismissing the alleged certificate forgery suit filed against the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed dismissed the suit filed by the All Progressives Party (APC) and a chieftain of the party, Williams Edobor, on the conclusion that the plaintiffs failed to prove their allegations of forgery against Governor Obaseki.
Imuse, while reacting to the judgement, said the party’s legal team would immediately move to study the judgement and file an appeal.
He expressed hope that the judiciary would remain upright and always ensure that the will of the people and rule of law prevail.
He was quoted in a statement by the State Publicity Secretary, Chris Azebamwan to have said: “We thank God also granting all the lawyers and the judge very good health with which they all contributed to bring the whole litigation process to this interesting stage. It is not the end of the road.”
He said all APC members in Edo state were very hopeful like the good democrats and believers in the rule of law that they were that the Judiciary would continue to show that it was the last hope of the common man.
Meantime, the statement said further that Col Imuse appealed to all APC members in the state to “be calm and to go about their normal activities without animosity as the party appeals the verdict.”
