The All Progressives Congress in Edo State is hesitant in saluting the winner of the September 19 governoship election in the state,Governor
Godwin Obaseki even as the leader of the party, President Buhari congratulated the winner, and the party at the National had asked its candidate and members to do so.
The party in the state had said it would not accept the result of the election which it described as being doctored by the Peoples Democratic party, the implication of this is that the party is gearing up for contest at the courts and with the constitution of the tribunal by the Appeal Court,it might just be the start of a long process to seek redress of its loss at the polls.
