Edo people have demonstrated  commitment to democracy -Adewopo 

Convener of the Ayombo Movement for Good Governance, AMGG, Prince (Dr.) Ayoade Adewopo has described the just conducted governorship election in Edo State as one of the most competitive in Nigeria’s history, saying the people of the state have “demonstrated their commitment to democracy by voting in a largely peaceful process.”

In a statement issued on Sunday and made available to Nigerian Pilot in Abuja, Ayoade, who is the 2018 Osun State governorship aspirant under the People’s Democratic Party, PDP platform, however, congratulated Godwin Obaseki on his “well deserved re-election for a renewed four year term as governor of the state.”

“This election was one of the most competitive in our country’s history. However, once again, the people of Edo has demonstrated their commitment to democracy by voting in a largely peaceful process.”

“I am confident that under your renewed leadership, Edo’s leading role in advancing the values and principles of democracy continue to be strengthened.”

“It is my sincere wish that Edo, under your leadership, will maintain political stability and integration, and achieve economic prosperity just like other states governed by PDP governors,” Ayoade stated.

He, however, prayed for a successful second term tenure of office for Governor Obaseki while urging the full support of the people of the state irrespective of their political party, religion and language for his adminstration.
