This was contained in a
statement signed by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Malam Jibrin Ndace
and made available to newsmen on Friday in Minna,
Bello said that
the victory of Obaseki at the polls was a testimony, which showed that the
people of Edo appreciated the developmental progress recorded in the last eight
years. The statement urged the governor-elect to ensure that he built on the
foundation laid by his predecessor, so as to take the state to a greater
height.
“I want to congratulate Obaseki and Mr Philip Shaibu, his deputy, on
their victory at the just concluded governorship election in Edo state. “Your
track record as a seasoned technocrat and your antecedents as an astute
administrator must have informed your choice by the people.
“Your emergence at
the polls as the governor-elect in the keenly contested election was a
testimony of the confidence the people have in you, as a teamplayer whose
contributions to Edo development are outstanding.
“As the people have willingly
and massively gave you the mandate, I enjoin you to build on the good
foundation laid by your predecessor. Also ensure that this is taken to the next
level,’’ the statement said.
It, however, enjoined the elected to fulfill their
campaign promises to the people, adding that fulfilment of promise would bring
about dividends of democracy in the state. “I urge you to live up to your
vision of building a modern and progressive Edo where every citizen is
empowered with opportunity to live life in its fullness’’.
“Above all, you must
realize that you are now governor of all, irrespective of political,
ideological, religious and ethnic differences,’’ it added. Vanguardngr
