Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has congratulated his Edo State counterpart, Mr. Godwin Noghegase Obaseki on his re-election for a second term in office.

He described Obaseki’s victory as the restoration of the pride of the people of Edo State and their inalienable right to choose who governs them.

In a statement issued on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka made available to ABN TV, Governor Ikpeazu stated that Governor Obaseki has demonstrated sheer grit and uncommon courage.

According to the Governor, “the result of the election shows clearly that the people of Edo State were not prepared to circumscribe their sovereignty under any circumstances. They have spoken clearly that no one can take away their rights to choose their own leader”.

“Governor Ikpeazu also salutes the statesmanship of President Muhammadu Buhari for standing firm on the side of our constitutional democracy and a clear recognition of the rights of the people of Edo State to freely elect their own leaders by maintaining an admirable level of neutrality in the election.

“The Governor also commended the steadfastness of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for rising to the occasion when it mattered most and delivering an election that was generally free, fair and credible.

“Governor Okezie Ikpeazu who is the Deputy Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum also saluted the unity of purpose exhibited by the Governors elected under the platform of the party and indeed, the national leadership of the party for rallying support for their members, Governor Godwin Obaseki and his Deputy, Mr. Philip Shuaibu” the statement added.

The Governor also salutes the courage of the people of Edo State whom he said were relentless in the defence of their rights to elect a Governor of their choice.

According to the Governor, the people of Edo bluntly refused to kowtow to any external influences.

“Governor Ikpeazu, on behalf of the Government and People of Abia State wishes Governor Obaseki and the people of Edo State more successes as they commence another democratic journey after a well deserved victory” the statement concluded.
