THERE is anxiety among members and supporters of Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate in the September 19, 2020 governorship election as the Federal High Court in Abuja will today rule on an alleged forgery and perjury case brought against the governor by the APC and a member of the party, William Edobor.
After exchange of legal fireworks on the pre-election suits, the parties on Thursday adopted their written addresses and the presiding judge, Justice Ahmed Muhammed fixed today for ruling.
A member of the PDP and associate of Obaseki told Saturday Vanguard yesterday that “everybody is waiting for the day, some of us are restless but we are confident because our legal team did a good job and from my view, they could not prove any case of forgery so we expect a favourable ruling” while a supporter of the candidate of the APC in the election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and member of the party said: “With what we have presented before the court, we are 99 per cent sure of victory.”
