Nigeria’s Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, has congratulated Godwin Obaseki, the Governor-elect of Edo
state, and candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), on his victory in the Wednesday governorship election.
Saraki, in a statement by his Special Adviser, Yusuph
Olaniyonu, described Obaseki’s success as “well deserved
and expected by those who have keenly followed the
electioneering in the state in the last few months,” The Punch reports.
He said: “Godwin Obaseki has proved to be a good private sector man who is also a grass roots politician. He is a
good flag bearer of our great party, the APC, and a
mobiliser who really showed that he will be a worthy
successor to the incumbent Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
“I also congratulate Governor Oshiomhole who has, in the
last seven and a half years, diligently served the people of
Edo State and has led a vigorous campaign to sustain the
APC legacy in Edo State. The Governor has shown courage,
devotion and dedication in selling Obaseki to the people.”
Saraki lauded the people of Edo for the massive turn-out,
the peaceful manner in which the election went and for
voting for the APC candidate.
He also praised the Independent National Electoral
Commission for “the good arrangement it put in place to
ensure a free, fair and peaceful election” while also
applauding the performance of all the security agencies.
Obaseki won the majority of the votes cast, with a total of
319,483 against Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) with polled 253,173 votes.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, September 29, 2016, took to the telephone to speak with
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state for working for
the success of the APC in the governorship election in Edo state.
Buhari also congratulated the government and people of
Edo state on the successful conclusion of the election.
