Former president, Goodluck Jonathan has sent a congratulatory message to Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over his victory in the Edo state election, IgbereTV reports.

Jonathan in a series of tweets on Sunday, September 20, commended the people of Edo and INEC for ensuring a peaceful, credible and transparent election in the state.

The former president urged the re-elected governor to govern all people of his state without any partisan bias.

He wrote:

"I congratulate His Excellency @GovernorObaseki on his re-election as Edo State Governor. I also congratulate @inecnigeria for overseeing a process that allowed the votes of the good people of Edo to count."

"Democracy can only be consolidated to promote good governance in our nation and continent when our elections become credible, transparent and truly represent the wish of the voters."

"Through their ballot papers, Edo people have spoken in favour of Governor Obaseki. He should therefore rise above partisan politics and govern for the good of all."

Yoruba muslim in pain.

A well-deserved congratulation on an election that will remain indelible in the minds of Nigerians! The battle was tough, the opponents 'mighty'. But the chick that God has appointed to crow shall do so without fail in even in the midst of hawks and eagles! The result has invested in the emotion of Edolites such joy and genuine happiness that Nigerians have been denied for a long time. Congratulations!

We are taking the "no to godfatherism" to Lagos

Whether lagosian like it or not

They must be liberated
And free from zombeism

Nice congratulatory msg without any partisan undertone...but Ize Iyamu sef na wa o, Obaseki used 2 different clubs jerseys (APC & PDP) beat am at different times. This recent beating relegate am with him local coach (OshioPikin) & Foreign Coach (Tinubu) from the Edo champions league. Edo at any time no be Lagos.

So gentle and humble of heart...

I like the fact that even as an Ex-president he choose not to lord over his party, state or zone like Oshomole and Tinibu are doing..

Elder stateman is more likely to earn you respect than godfatherism..

Congrats to PDP and Governor Obaseki
