Heartfelt Congratulations to His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on His Supreme Court Victory

Your Excellency, Governor Okpebholo,

I am elated to extend my warmest congratulations to you and your highly esteemed Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Dennis Idahosa on the Supreme Court's definitive affirmation of your electoral mandate. This landmark judgment, which aligns with the earlier rulings of the Tribunal and the Court of Appeal, brings a welcome close to prolonged litigation and serves as a resounding validation of the will of the people of Edo State.

The Supreme Court’s ruling not only cements the legitimacy of your administration but also reinforces the strength and independence of our judiciary. Once again, the courts have demonstrated their pivotal role in upholding democratic ideals, delivering justice, and protecting the sovereign choice of the electorate.

This well-earned victory is a proof to the trust and confidence reposed in you by the people during the September 21, 2024 elections. It serves as a reminder of the resilience of our democratic institutions and the enduring spirit of our people. With this legal clarity, your administration can now advance its commendable work without distraction, continuing the impressive strides already made across Edo State.

Your tenure has exemplified purposeful leadership, grounded in integrity, vision, and a steadfast commitment to inclusive development. The peace, unity, and progress you have championed are laying a strong foundation for a more prosperous Edo State. As scripture affirms, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice."

Once again, accept my sincere congratulations on this well-deserved electoral and legal triumph.

Signed,

Hon. Chief (Dr.) Billy Adesuwa Famous Osawaru.
