Senate President Godswill Akpabio has announced that he will personally present the official results of the Edo Governorship Election to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, following the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo. This declaration comes on the heels of a major electoral triumph for the APC in Edo State, further strengthening the party\u2019s political dominance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a statement issued shortly before his departure to Abuja, Akpabio disclosed that he had been entrusted with the official results by Edo State APC Chairman Jeret Tenebe. The Senate President emphasized the significance of this handover, describing it as an important duty that symbolized the party\u2019s commitment to delivering on its promises to the people of Edo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“I was presented with a copy of the results sheet by the Edo State chairman, Jeret Tenebe, shortly before my departure to Abuja. This will be transmitted to our party leader and President, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR,” Akpabio revealed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Akpabio also took the opportunity to commend the Edo APC leadership and party faithful for their unity and efforts, which led to a decisive victory in what was considered a highly competitive race. The election, marked by an impressive voter turnout, saw Okpebholo declared Governor-elect after a contest that attracted attention from political observers across the nation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the APC, the win in Edo is particularly noteworthy as it further solidifies the party’s foothold in a key southern state. It also highlights the growing support for the party\u2019s vision and policies under the leadership of President Tinubu, who has emphasized the need for robust governance and progressive policies at both state and national levels.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Akpabio expressed his confidence in the Governor-elect\u2019s capability to lead Edo State into a new era of progress, citing Okpebholo\u2019s track record as a legislator and party loyalist. He described the incoming administration as one that will focus on growth and development, leveraging the foundation laid by the outgoing government.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI am confident that Senator Okpebholo\u2019s leadership will usher in a period of continued growth and development for Edo State. His dedication to public service and his passion for the people of Edo are evident, and I have no doubt that he will lead the state to greater heights,\u201d Akpabio noted.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Senate President also acknowledged the efforts of APC supporters across Edo State who turned out in large numbers to cast their votes. He thanked the electorate for their unwavering trust in the party, and their belief in the leadership of both the APC and Senator Okpebholo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Edo election result is seen as a key indicator of the party\u2019s increasing political strength in the region. With this victory, the APC has further reinforced its position as a dominant force in the southern political landscape, as Edo becomes another stronghold alongside other southern states that have shown significant support for the party in recent elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
