Former governor of Edo State, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, yesterday hailed the judgment delivered by the Election Petitions Tribunal on the Edo 2016 Governorship Election, affirming the election of Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Speaking to newsmen in Benin City, Oshiomhole said the judiciary still remained the hope for common man.The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted him as saying: “The judgment is a testimony that the people of Edo never voted for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“The petition was a busy-body one to distract the electorate; this was just like Mama Akara judgment going to see over non-issue.’’Oshiomhole further said the judgment has shown that there were still men and women of good character in the judiciary, adding: “This will serve as a deterrent to some people who can say whatever they like about the judiciary.

“But it has shown it (judiciary) has men and women of good charter of courage and knowledge,” he said.
