The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the September 2024 governorship election in Edo State, Asue Ighodalo, to accept the Court of Appeal judgement on the poll.
The Appeal Court affirmed the victory of Governor Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the gubernatorial election on Thursday, May 29, 2025.
Wike, in a statement issued on Thursday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, urged Ighodalo to accept the court’s verdict for the interest of Edo State.
“Accept the judgment and allow the sleeping dogs of the election to lie,” the minister stated.
