Legislator Praises Edo People For Keeping Faith With APC

A member of the Edo State House of Assembly, Hon Adjoto Kabiru (APC-Akoko Edo) has congratulated Mr Godwin Obaseki on his victory in the just-concluded governorship election.
Kabiru told reporters Thursday, in Benin City, the state capital, that the victory would give the people the opportunity to continue to enjoy ongoing developments in the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had, Thursday, in Benin, declared Obaseki as winner of the gubernatorial election.
Obaseki polled 319,483 votes to defeat his closest rival, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 253,173 votes.
He said “I want to thank Edo people for not changing the change. The change will remain in the state and in the country.
“It takes time to get the dividends of democracy, but with time, things will get better. The 200,000 jobs Obaseki promised will be realised.
“And there will be more red roofs, hospitals and road construction across the 18 local government areas of the state.”
Obaseki further said that he and his Deputy Governor-elect, Philip Shaibu, would build on the foundation laid by Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
