The former Presidential Aide to Goodluck Jonathan, Comrade Jude Imagwe, has congratulated the state Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, on his victory at the Supreme Court, over the case of certificate forgery brought against him by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and one of its chieftains, Williams Edobor.
Imagwe also congratulated the state Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, and Edo state PDP on the well-deserved victory at the apex court.
The Court, while delivering judgment in the suit, said the appellant (Edo APC), failed to prove that the certificate issued by the University of Ibadan, with which Obaseki contested the 2020 governorship election in the state was forged.
Imagwe in a statement he personally signed and forwarded to AfemaiReporters, described the victory as affirmation of God’s will for the people of Edo state.
The statement read:
