The Edo State Election Petition Tribunal in Benin City dismissed the petition filed by Major General Charles Ehigie Airhiavbere (Rtd) in which he challenged the educational qualifications of Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, describing it as a wide goose chase.
In his ruling, the Tribunal Chairman, Suleiman Ambursa said the petition is a pre-election matter that ought to have been dispensed with long before the July 14, 2012 governorship election.
After examining the affidavits, counter affidavits and submissions of the counsels for the respondents and petitioner, the chairman said, the tribunal concluded it had no jurisdiction over what took place in 2007. It's a loss again to the PDP candidate, we'll await his next move.
