NLC, TUC rejoice with Oshiomhole

President, Comrade Abdulwahed Ibrahim Omar, has congratulated his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, over his victory at the Edo State Governorship Election Tribunal.

In a message sent from Geneva where he is attending the Governing Body meeting of the International Labour Organization, the NLC president described the tribunal ruling as a triumph of the will of the electorate of Edo State and as a major step in the democratic development of Nigeria.

Omar congratulated the people of Edo State and indeed the whole of Nigerians for the resilience they demonstrated throughout the tribunal proceedings. According to him, the victory is for the good people of Nigeria as a whole and not Oshiomhole alone.

He commended the tribunal and saluted the thoroghness and integrity of the panel, adding that the tribunal dispensed justice in a way that suggested that they appreciated the enormity of the issues at stake and the need to do what is right. He applauded the quality of the ruling, noting that it would significantly improve the jurisprudence on election petitions in Nigeria.

The NLC President reaffirmed his confidence that Edo State would witness quality and people-driven governance with Comrade Oshiomhole as Governor.

On its part, the TUC President, Mr. Peter Esele, also hailed the verdict of the tribunal and described it as "a double victory for Oshiomhole as an indigene and coming from the labour constituency".

Esele told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that "we, the party members had always known that he won the election.

"We heard of the appeal, we are not bothered, because there are enough proof that he won, so by the grace of God, come what may, he will be sworn-in as the governor Edo State".
