CRPP backs dissolution of Edo guber tribunal


FELIX NWANERI
The Edo State leadership of the Coalition of Registered Political Parties (CRPP) has applauded the recent dissolution of the three-man Edo Election Petition Tribunal led by Justice Suleiman Ambrusa over alleged compromise, describing it as a step in the right direction.
The state chairman of the group, Rev. Anslem Onoigboria, who gave the commendation when he led a delegation of executive members of the group to the campaign office of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Maj. General Charles Airhiavbere (rtd) in Benin City, said: “It was a right decision.
We discovered that the judges were no longer after the mission they came in for. They were playing ball. They became compromised. We are really happy that the tribunal has been disbanded.”
Onoigboria also commended Airhiavbere’s decision to continue with the suit on certificate forgery allegation against Governor Adams Oshiomhole, saing: “He should keep on the battle because God Almighty will crown him with victory.”
“The right step has been taken, Airhiavbere is a man sent by God and endowed with wisdom to be able to challenge the governor in the court. It is an indication that there are still principled people in Nigeria,” he added. Responding, Mr. David Uwaifo, who spoke on behalf of Airhiavbere thanked the CRPP for the visit, assuring them that the PDP candidate will not rest on his oars until justice was done on his petition.
