Udom Emmanuel, the executive governor of Akwa Ibom State, has congratulated Governor Godwin Obaseki on his victory in the Edo 2020 governorship election.
The governor also extended the congratulations to Philip Shaibu, deputy governor of Edo State.
Governor Udom Emmanuel described the September 19 re election victory in Edo as well deserved.
In a congratulatory message by his media aide, Ekerete Udoh, Governor Emmanuel thanked God for a peaceful and credible election in Edo.
He drew similarities to what happened last year in Akwa Ibom State.
“ Last year, the good people of Akwa Ibom State rose in unison and said no to godfatherism. They also said no to the much touted Federal might. Akwa Ibom people declared their fidelity to the supremacy of our ONLY GOD in the Affairs of man.
“Today, our brothers and sisters in Edo State have replicated the same wholesome faith and belief in God. This faith dwarfs the boastful exuberance of ordinary mortals. They voted to return a leader who best represents their values and ethos; a doer and not a talker.
“On behalf of the Government and the good people of Akwa Ibom State, I join our brethren in Edo to congratulate our Brother, His Excellency, Governor Godwin Obaseki. He has secured Edo peoples’ trust 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.
Similarly, I urge the good people of Ondo State to embrace PDP in the October 10 election for good governance.”
