A few hours after the Elections Petitions Tribunal sitting in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State capital upheld the election of the state governor, Engr. Segun Oni, the Ekiti Justice and Equity Movement (EJEM) has hailed the judgment, describing it as victory for Ekiti people.

“This is the beginning of new things to come ion Ekiti and we commend the judges at the tribunal for being courageous enough to jettison propaganda and falsehood for truth and reality.

“The judgment was thorough, well researched and devoid of sentiments. We cannot but hail it,” EJEM said.

While calling on members of the AC to join hands with the governor so as to move the state forward, EJEM said, “With this judgment, the issue of who won and lost the April 14, 2007 governorship election has been settled. What should now be uppermost in the minds of all Ekiti sons and daughters no matter what party they belong is the development of the state.

“By this judgment, those who are constantly putting Ekiti in the media for the most negative reasons should have a rethink and forge a common front for the development of the state.”
