President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the All Progressives Congress candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on his victory in the Edo State governorship election held on Saturday.
Okpebholo was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission on Sunday, having emerged victorious over his rivals in the keenly contested election.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu lauded APC national leaders, Edo State leaders, and party governors for their efforts in securing the win.
He described the victory as a testament to the people’s endorsement of the APC’s progressive ideals, economic reform agenda, and commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians.
The President urged Okpebholo to approach his victory with humility, calling on him to unite the people of Edo State and work towards its development.
“This victory is not an opportunity to gloat but a challenging call to service. I encourage you to reach out to your political rivals and foster unity in Edo State,” Tinubu advised.
