By Reporter

Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Emperor Jarrett Tenebe has praised the Supreme Court for the judgement that has affirmed the election of Senator Monday Okpebholo as the duely elected Governor of the state.

In a statement issued shortly after the judgement, Tenebe thanked Edo people who he said “…came out massively to vote Senator Monday Okpehbolo on September 21, 2025.”

But for them, the state would not be experiencing the present development under Governor Okpebholo. He assured that Edo people will see more developments now that the distraction is over.

“I am so happy today, because today the judgement of the Supreme Court is of a double celebration to me.

“Double in the sense that, my little girl (Somi) graduation is today and when we are preparing for the celebration, the judgement of the Supreme Court affirming the election of Senator Monday Okpehbolo ‘s victory, equally came today. It is a double celebration for me.

“I wish to thank the judiciary because they have really proven that they are the last hope of the common man. Edo State people are the common people who the People’s Democratic Party punished with bad government for eight years.

“I also want to use this victory to thank our lawyers and Asue Ighodalo’s lawyers for encouraging him to waste his money from the lower court up to the Supreme Court.

“My thanks also to thank Edo people who came out massively to vote Senator Monday Okpehbolo. If not for them, we would not be experiencing this development in the state today. Now the state will witness more and more developments.”

The APC chairman reminded the PDP and it’s candidate, Mr. Asue Ighodalo that the Supreme Court is the highest Court in the country and “…whoever wants to appeal it’s judgement have to go to heaven to meet God.”

Tenebe went further to say that: “I know Asue Ighodalo will want to appeal to God and you know if you want to appeal to God you have to die first.

“If he wants to do that he has to die before us and go to Pogatory. He will be there for a long time because we are not ready to die now. We have to fix Edo State. Pogatory is like prison.

” Finally, I use this opportunity to thank all our stakeholders,” Emperor Jarrett Tenebe said.
