President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the government and people of Edo State on the successful conclusion of the governorship election, and the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Godwin Obaseki at the polls.
The President’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
“In a telephone call to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, President Buhari commended the well-articulated campaign programme of the APC in the state, the doggedness of the Governor, Governor-elect and party members in going round the state to reach the people with records of good governance over the years and a promise of continuity.
“According to the President, the outcome of the election clearly reflected the mood of the people to sustain the pedigree of responsiveness, forthrightness and diligence that Governor Oshiomhole brought into the service of his people.
“The victory is good for democracy, for Nigeria and the people of Edo State,” he said.
President Buhari said the victory was well-deserved as the campaign train, which he joined, worked hard to sell its people-centered manifesto.
He also applauded the conduct of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, corps members and electorate in ensuring a peaceful election.
