A former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, has congratulated the party's candidate in the Edo State governorship election, Godwin Obaseki, for his victory, saying Edo people have made the choice.
He said Mr. Obaseki was a tested
technocrat who was competent and
experienced to take over and
continue the "good work" done by
the outgoing Governor of the state,
Adams Oshiomhole.
The APC leader also congratulated
Mr. Oshiomhole for his
achievements in Edo, which helped
in retaining Edo for APC.
With the election of Obaseki, Mr.
Tinubu said Edo had taken after
Lagos in the continuity model, which
he said has worked well for the
people of Lagos State.
The Independent National Electoral
Commission on Thursday declared
Mr. Obaseki the governor-elect.
Mr. Obaseki scored 319,483 votes to
defeat Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the
Peoples Democratic Party, who
polled 253,173 votes.
Mr. Obaseki equally won in 13 out
of the 18 local government area of
the State.
