PDP Files Election Petition, Aims to Reclaim ‘Stolen Mandate’ in Edo

PDP Files Election Petition, Aims to Reclaim ‘Stolen Mandate’ in Edo
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

It’s no surprise that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has filed a petition contesting the results of the September 21 governorship election . On Monday, the party’s state chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, confirmed the petition’s submission at a press conference in Benin.

Aziegbemi wasted no time in accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of putting up roadblocks to prevent the PDP from contesting the results. According to him, INEC’s antics were aimed at frustrating the party’s efforts to present their case to the election tribunal. He made sure to remind the people of Edo State that this was just the beginning of the battle to reclaim what he repeatedly called their “stolen mandate.”

Aziegbemi was oozing confidence, reassuring party members and voters alike that victory was imminent. “We have filed our petition before the election tribunal on your behalf. I assure you that the journey to reclaim our mandate has begun, and by God’s grace, it will be retrieved,” he proclaimed. Bold words indeed, but if history has taught us anything, it’s that political battles in Nigeria are as predictable as the weather.

Let’s be honest, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of drama happen. Every time an election doesn’t go their way, the opposition screams foul play, claims their mandate was stolen, and heads to the courts, where cases often drag on for months. Will this case be any different?

The question now is, will the tribunal overturn the election results, or will this case go down in the annals of countless other contested Nigerian elections that ultimately lead nowhere? As it stands, the PDP seems determined to fight, but whether that fight will amount to anything substantial remains to be seen.

For now, all eyes are on the election tribunal, and the people of Edo, as usual, are left waiting to see if their so-called mandate will ever be “reclaimed.”
