This judgement further illustrates what one has often been saying.


Rushing to court when one is not armed with irrefutable evidence(s), fact(s) and figure(s) amounts to a sheer waste of time and resources.


Law is not concerned with emotions and mere allegations without "proof".


The burden of proof lies with the person(s) who brings a matter before a court.


It's not the duty of the court to help the plaintiff/complainant to prove his case.


The judge would simply dismiss such a case for lack of merit.


The court is not a father Christmas!


Asue Ighodalo and the PDP took a matter to court(s) and when the time came for them to prove their case, they couldn't.


Ighodalo is now pouring out subtle invectives against the judiciary and the winner.


Why are we like this?


Once again, emotions, insinuations, threats and name-calling don't win cases!


Evidence, facts and figures do!

Going to court against APC is a waste of time and money…judiciary is gone under APC ,legislators are rubber stamp …Nigerians will know what they lost under APC than under Abacha….we will live to tell the Apc supporters that most of them will be the major reciever of the pains as the supporters of Abacha are mostly now the gatemen for the truthful Nigerians

No Nigerian politician that looses out ever accept court verdict on any post election petition. To make the matter worse are their online supporters who are miles away from the election polling booths on the day of election that joined them in condemning the court verdicts.

Hmmm...which Supreme Court, the one belonging to Tinubu and Wike or which one exactly? Supreme Court to the dogs. Nigeria is a joke.

Then why waste money on election if the supreme Court can produce governors. Ask yourself why.

Since you were able to identify Tinubus dividend of democracy that is play, be rest assure that dividends will be in full play, no need to waste your precious time and energy on ADC. After all, you already known there is a dividend that will play out in full. If you like carry mattress to court to sleep over monitoring cases for Obi or Atiku after loosing out in 2027, you will still end up in your usual ranting

FINAL STATEMENT ON THE SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT IN THE EDO GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION PETITION
10TH JULY, 2025

My dear people of Edo State,

Today, the Supreme Court has ruled.

Though I accept the finality of its judgment, I do not and cannot pretend that what was delivered amounts to justice.

What happened in the September 2024 Governorship Election was not a contest. It was a robbery. Coordinated. Deliberate. And now, tragically validated by the highest court in the land. While I will not and can not obstruct any judicial pronouncement, no matter how flawed, I must never fear to speak truth to power.

Like you, I feel a deep sense of betrayal. Not just by those who rigged the process, but by the very institutions we trusted to protect our democracy. You came out in hope. You voted for competence, for progress, for prosperity. And now, we are told that your voice does not matter. That your freely given mandate can be trampled without consequence.

I feel your pain. I share your anger. And I will never forget your courage.

To every young person who saw in this moment the birth of a new Edo. To every elder who longed to see our state rise again. To every woman and man who prayed, campaigned, and voted. We may not have won the office, but we won something greater. We found one another. We discovered our collective strength.

Though this painful chapter closes today, our beautiful story does not end. The struggle to reclaim the soul of our beloved state continues.

Yes, dark days may lie ahead. The weight of this illegitimacy will, unfortunately, echo beyond the halls of the Supreme Court. I fear Edo will feel it in the absence of leadership, in the poverty of policy, and in the daily suffering of her people.

But we are neither a fearful nor a broken people. We may be wounded. But all wounds heal.

So let this be our vow. We will not retreat. We will not be silenced. And we will never forget.

To those who now hold power undeserved, lead with humility. Govern with conscience. History sees what the courts may not. And one day, it will deliver its own verdict.

God bless you.
God bless Edo State.
And God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Asue Ighodalo .

To those who now hold power undeserved, lead with humility. Govern with conscience. History sees what the courts may not. And one day, it will deliver its own verdict.


My take:
Asue, let it slide and prepare for the next big thing in time and space. Period.
