President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday congratulated the government and people of Edo State on the successful conclusion of the gubernatorial election and the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Godwin Obaseki at the polls.

In a telephone call to Edo State 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.

In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President said that the outcome of the election clearly reflected the mood of the people to sustain the pedigree of responsiveness, forthrightness and diligence that Governor Oshomole 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 also said that the victory was well-deserved as the campaign train, which he joined, worked hard to sell its people-centered manifesto.

He applauded the conduct of the Independent National Electoral Commission, security agencies, corps members and electorate in ensuring a peaceful election.
INEC had announced that Obaseki won the majority of the votes cast, with a total of 319,483 votes, and he was closely followed by Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the PDP, who polled 253,173 votes.

Welldone!

Oshiomhole is a man that has single handedly tamed all the wild animals like anenih and igbinedion in edo state since buhari has refused to jail the real thieves. He is more interested in patience jonathan

Wow, this shows how PMB love Oshobaba and
the people of Edo state, cause he has never congratulated anyone who come out victorious in any elections since he assumed office. Thank U PMB. Don't ask him why now, he give it to whoever he wishes to.

Mr incompetent congratulating a fellow party man, that he can barely vouch for. Continue like this and this how you will congratulate someone else come 2019.

Yes very true. When APC won in Kogi state he did not send congratulation message. This clearly show how much Oshiomole is respected and regarded.

ok

Did you vote him last year ?

What makes you believe that he will not win in 2019 ?

The way you guys talk about him makes it harder for

His followers to see anything wrong with him

So stop day dreaming

Wake up to reality

When PDP supporters were jubilating yesterday, thinking they've won, I told them to keep calm 'cos anything can happen in this country. Now imagine the final result. APC will always allow PDP to have early lead b4 shooting them off to nowhere. Next time wait till the final result is announced b4 throwing parties.



Also, Election is not won on nairaland or on the internet. You have to really go there and do your thing.

if it was another party that won he would not have congratulated the winner. Yeye plenty for naija!

Mr, what's the reality? to answer your question I did not Vote last year. (cos I wasn't in the country)

Just so you know I am neither a wailer nor a Zombie, and if you notice most Zombies are gradually turning to Wailers. Am just an advocate of good governance, we just need some one who can provide the basics (RLW) road, light and water every other thing will follow.

Feel me now?

Are you mad?

As one of the monitors cum observer at the election i took time to get round Benin and some parts of Edo State. As much as i congratulate the winner of the contest i wish to remind him he has a lot of work to do. The State is lagging behind.
