Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State on Friday said the tribunal judgment dismissing the certificate forgery allegations against him and upholding his election was a triumph of truth over falsehood and a sweet victory for the state, Igbere TV reports.

The opposition People Democratic Party (PDP) made the allegations against the governor.

“This judgment affirms the truism that never will falsehood triumph over truth nor evil over good till the end of time — no matter the efforts or public grandstanding of the purveyors of such falsehood,” Governor AbdulRazaq said in a statement by his spokesman, Rafiu Ajakaye.

The statement said the judgment confirmed the long-held position of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) that the entire allegation was malicious and a tale by moonlight.

“For us, the judgment serves as a tonic to go the extra mile to build a polity where players will be motivated only by truth and the dream of serving our people and not by unbridled ambitions,” the statement said.

“We thank their Lordships for their erudition and well-considered judgment. We express our profound respect and gratitude to our legal team who meticulously and professionally handled the provocative issue with admirable comportment and superior knowledge of the law.

“While we were always confident of victory since we had nothing to hide, there were some Kwarans who felt concerned that some persons were bent on either causing confusion or going through the backdoor to get whatever Kwarans did not give them at the poll.

It is to this end that we most sincerely thank Kwarans for their support and prayers while the case lasted. We also assure them that we will follow through on the steps being taken to build a Kwara that is prosperous and is the pride of all.”
