Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, the state PDP Chairman made the disclosure while addressing journalists on Monday in Benin City, the Edo.
He said that the PDP successfully filed the petition despite alleged frustration from the All Progressives Congress (APC ) and INEC in the course of the party enforcing a court order, which granted PDP request for inspection of materials used in the election.
Aziegbemi expressed optimism that the election petition Tribunal would dispense justice in the petition and described the outcome of the election as the “Darkness Day of Edo State”.
He said: “We know many of you and indeed Edolites would have been wondering why we have not engaged you after the saddest day in the history of Edo State.
“The stealing of your mandate and right to freely choose who will govern you in the next 4 years after the spectacular performance of our amiable Governor Godwin Obaseki.
“Let me on behalf of the PDP express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all Edolites that came out en masse on the 21st of September, 2024 to cast your votes for the PDP in spite of the unprecedented militarization and financial inducement by the APC”.
Aziegbemi added: “We are here to let you know that your vote will eventually count. You stared at the barrel of the gun, took their (our) money (in most cases fifteen thousand per vote) and voted for the PDP
“The unthinkable then happened, Your votes were discarded. You were violated, they thought that they could silence your choice. That will not happen. We are going to be with you all the way.
“We have filed our petition before the Election Tribunal on your behalf. I assure you that the journey to reclaim our mandate has begun and by the grace of God, your mandate will be returned,” he said.
