Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State were in wild jubilation Wednesday after the tribunal dismissed the petition filed by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar against the election of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Edo State Secretary of the APC, Mr. Lawrence Okah who spoke to newsmen said the presidential election was lost and won since February 23rd, 2019 when the election was conducted.
Okah said the PDP merely embarked on academic exercise by going to the tribunal without evidence.
He said the PDP was lucky that the tribunal Judges did not look at the non-qualification of Atiku that he is not a Nigerian.
