President Bola Tinubu, on Sunday, stated that the victory of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the Edo State governorship election reflects the people’s support for his policies.
Tinubu expressed this sentiment in a congratulatory message to Monday Okpebholo, the APC’s candidate in the election.
The statement was released by the president’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga.
“President Tinubu commends APC national leaders, Edo State leaders, and party governors for working hard to achieve victory,” Mr Onanuga wrote. “He says the victory testified to the people’s support for the ruling party, its progressive ideals, its economic reengineering programme and its commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians.”
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the Edo State governorship election held on Saturday.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the ruling party in the state, finished second, while the Labour Party (LP) placed third.
However, the PDP has rejected the election results, alleging that the collation process was compromised.
