By Ofonime Honesty

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, has congratulated his Edo State counterpart, Godwin Obaseki, on his victory in the gubernatorial election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday.

Emmanuel, in a post on his official Facebook page shortly after the announcement of results by INEC, Sunday evening, said Edo people have replicated how “the good people of Akwa Ibom State rose in unison and said no to godfatherism and the much touted federal might, declaring their fidelity to the supremacy of our Only God in the affairs of man.”

He added that Edo people have reechoed “the same wholesome faith and belief in God over the boastful exuberance of ordinary mortals by voting to return a leader who best represents their values and ethos; a doer and not a talker.”

Governor Emmanuel congratulated “Obaseki for securing the trust and faith of the good people of Edo State to superintend over the affairs of the State for another four years.”

“As I have always said, a good job delivered well, means more job to be done. I have no doubt that you will step up to the plate and deliver big time for the Edo people. Let me also congratulate our great party, the PDP and of course, the INEC for a job well- done!,” he added.
