Market women in Edo State have applauded the Abuja Federal High Court, dismissal of the alleged certificate forgery case against Governor Godwin Obaseki, describing the ruling as a validation of the mandate Edo people gave the governor.
Justice Mohammed added: “Having thoroughly analysed the evidence of the case, it is the conclusion of this court that the plaintiff did not forge his certificates, especially his University of Ibadan degree certificate. Accordingly, the plaintiffs’ case is dismissed.”Traders in Edaiken Market, who celebrated the judgment, urged the Edo APC and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu to accept the choice of Edo people, who voted for Obaseki and his deputy, Philip Shaibu for another four years in office.
A trader in Edaiken Market, Mrs. Esther Irabor, said: “I am excited at the news of the dismissal of the certificate forgery case against Governor Obaseki. We were convinced that the governor was qualified for the office of Governor with the statements from UI.“We urge APC leaders and the candidates to accept the choice of Edo people. You could feel the pulse in the market yesterday after the news of the dismissal of the case broke.
But I still see an obvious inconsistence of ruling on this case. Zanfara case in my mind .
