The Appeal Court sitting in Benin City, the Edo State capital on Tuesday sacked former Governor Osarhiemen Osunbor of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared Mr. Adams Oshiomhole of the Action Congress (AC) the lawfully elected governor of the state in the April 2007 governorship polls. The five-man panel, led by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Umaru Abdulahi, after exhaustively dissecting the grounds of appeal filed by all parties in the case, ruled in favour of the former president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). Osunbor and the PDP had filed various grounds of appeal seeking to upturn the earlier ruling of the Justice Phillip Umeadi-led state election petitions tribunal which had earlier declared Oshiomhole the duly elected governor of the state.

[My people, it's now crystal clear that NOBODY can circumvent your predestined celestial kizmet, it may only be delayed. Even though yesterday's judgement in Benin City, Edo State 's a plus fr our democracy but then, there are so many implications to it. First, the Tribunal Chairman, Justice Nabaruma had written his name on the sands of annals of Nigerian political history, he had not only carved a niche for himself but also his family and the generation yet to come.Secondly, the involvement of the President of the Court of Appeal 's another giant step towards redeemeing his imagine which before now was dragged in the mud by the way he'd been handlin' various election petitions; the Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo, Osun (which was even more devastatin'), Delta and the rest of them. What I wish I told them is that no amount of money given to shield them from the wrath of God Almighty. They can go and collect bribe to pervert justice, one thin' 's certain, they cannot stop as much years as they have hitherto spent before they depart from this world.They all should be prepared to meet with their Lord...M K O Abiola, Gen. Sanni Abacha, Chief Chuba Okadigbo and a host of others, where are they? The Bench and Bar should please regain that trust people repose in them. People like justices Naron, Ekanem, Chief Kalejaye should be probed and brought to book.God bless our dear country]
