Edo Guber: Tinubu Congratulates Governor-elect, Okpebholo
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Senator Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, on his significant victory in the recent Edo State governorship election. This victory marks an important moment for the APC as they continue to assert their influence in Nigerian politics.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially announced Senator Okpebholo as the winner on Sunday, after he successfully defeated several other contenders for the position. This outcome is seen as a testament to the effectiveness of the APC’s strategies and the support they have garnered from the electorate in Edo State.

In a statement released by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu commended the dedicated efforts of APC national leaders, Edo State officials, and party governors, emphasizing their role in this electoral success.

He noted that the victory reflects the people’s confidence in the ruling party, its progressive ideals, and its commitment to economic reforms aimed at enhancing the lives of all Nigerians.

Moreover, President Tinubu urged Senator Okpebholo to view his victory as a serious responsibility rather than a reason for celebration. He encouraged the new governor to demonstrate humility and reach out to his political rivals to foster unity among the people of Edo State. By doing so, Senator Okpebholo can help ensure that the state moves forward in a collaborative manner, prioritizing development and progress.

Additionally, President Tinubu took the opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of other candidates who participated in the election. He highlighted that peaceful political contests, such as the one held on Saturday, are vital for showcasing Nigeria as a stable and democratic nation.

In this context, he encouraged anyone who feels aggrieved by the election results to pursue their grievances through appropriate legal channels, emphasizing the importance of due process.

As a final note, President Tinubu commended the people of Edo State for their orderly and peaceful conduct during the election, which reflects the maturation of Nigeria’s democracy over the past 25 years. He praised the efforts of INEC and security agencies, stating that they worked diligently to conduct a successful, peaceful, and largely hitch-free electoral process.

President Tinubu affirmed that INEC has once again demonstrated its commitment to organizing free and fair elections in Nigeria.
