The Chairman of the House Committee on Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) and lawmaker representing Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency of Oyo State, Engr. Aderemi Oseni has congratulated Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on his victory as the Governor-Elect of Edo State.

In a statement released on Monday by his media aide, Idowu Ayodele, the lawmaker lauded the people of Edo State for their overwhelming support of the APC candidate.

He expressed confidence in Senator Okpebholo’s ability to lead the state toward greater development and prosperity.

Oseni further described the election victory as a reflection of the people’s trust in Okpebholo’s leadership and vision for Edo State’s future.

“Senator Okpebholo’s triumph is well-deserved. His outstanding legislative record and commitment to public service make him the right leader to propel Edo State to new heights of development,” he stated.

As the Chairman of FERMA, Oseni underscored the importance of collaboration between the federal and state governments to ensure infrastructural development, particularly in road maintenance. He pledged to work closely with the Edo State administration, as with other states, to achieve shared objectives.

“I look forward to partnering with Governor-Elect Okpebholo to improve road infrastructure in Edo State, just as we do across the country, as the well-being of our citizens remains a priority. Together, we will build a more prosperous Nigeria,” the lawmaker added.

Oseni urged the newly elected governor to remain committed to his agenda of progress, good governance, and the welfare of the people of Edo State.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has taken a commanding lead in the Edo State governorship election, according to results declared so far by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Okpebholo, who represents Edo Central in the Senate, is currently ahead of his closest rival, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), by over 48,000 votes.

With results from 16 of the 18 local government areas (LGAs) announced at the INEC Collation Centre in Benin City on Sunday, Okpebholo has secured 244,549 votes.

In comparison, Ighodalo, a well-known figure in the business community, has garnered 195,954 votes. While Okpebholo has claimed victory in 10 of the LGAs declared so far, Ighodalo has won six.

Labour Party (LP) candidate Olumide Akpata is trailing far behind with 13,346 votes, placing him in a distant third position.

The election has attracted widespread attention due to the high stakes involved, with Edo’s political future hanging in the balance.

All eyes are now on the remaining two local government areas yet to be declared, as both the APC and PDP candidates brace for the final outcome.

INEC officials have assured the public of a transparent and credible process, urging calm as the last results trickle in.
