APC Urges Voters To Disregard Alleged Magistrate Court Ruling Against APC Edo Guber Candidate, Okpebholo

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described an alleged magistrate court ruling against its candidate in the Governorship Election holding in Edo State today, Saturday, September 21, 2024, Senator Mike Okpebholo as fake.
According to the party, “certain political parties have desperately resorted to forgery, disinformation and blackmail by circulating a FAKE Magistrate court ruling purportedly disqualifying Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC Gubernatorial Candidate in the election.”
These were contained in a statement signed by Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary of the APC dated Friday September 20, 2024.
“The circulated RULING IS FAKE, a FABRICATION and an act of pure desperation in the face of their imminent defeat at the polls. The Magistrate Court that purportedly issued the FAKE RULING has issued a disclaimer stating categorically that the FAKE RULING did not emanate from that court.
“The FAKE NEWS meant to sow seeds of doubt about the APC candidate is a blatant and calculated attempt to subvert the will of the Edo electorate and must be thoroughly rejected by the good and discerning people of Edo State.
“This illegal and underhand tactic of the parties involved constitutes a despicable attack on our electoral democracy. We call on our law enforcement agencies to identify, investigate and bring the perpetrators swiftly to justice.
“We urge voters in Edo State to remain vigilant and resolute in the exercise of their democratic rights at tomorrow’s polls. We trust that the  Edo people will reject this and other illegal devices by desperate candidates and their parties to subvert this important election.
Senator Monday Okpebholo is, and remains, the standard bearer of the APC in the Edo State Gubernatorial Election,” the statement read.
