David Edevbie heads to Supreme Court.
Gentlemen and Ladies, the decision of the Court of Appeal given today was not in our favor.
The Appeal Court dwelt mostly on technical grounds and not the substance of the case.
Of course, we saw this coming given the cases of bribery and influence. This is not strange with various cases at the Court of Appeal.
For those who can recall so much about past election cases at the election tribunals, it was for this reason that the final judgment in electoral cases which used to terminate at the Appeal Court was extended to the Supreme Court.
So, one thing is sure, we are heading to the Supreme Court.
Let us not be dismayed. It is also a phase in the process. Sometimes, they have the upper hand, some other times, we have the upper hand. We won at the court of the first instance, they won at the intermediate court.
Recall also that in the case of Degi in Bayelsa, the PDP won at the first court, Degi and the APC won at the Court of Appeal and finally, the PDP won at the Supreme Court.
We believe that this matter will go the same way. It will take our patience, resilience, and courage to go through the whole hug.
Sure, the Yellow House is in jubilation and will try to heckle us but they also know that it is not over...
Well done, great soldiers...
