The president also congratulated the people of the State on the successful conclusion of the election.
In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President in a telephone call to Oshiomhole, commended the well-articulated campaign programme of the APC in the state, the doggedness of the governor, governor-elect and party members in going round the state to reach the people with records of good governance over the years and a promise of continuity.
“The victory is good for democracy, for Nigeria and the people of Edo State,” he said.
Former Lagos State governor and All Peoples Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu also congratulated Obaseki, for his victory, saying Edo people have made a good choice.

In a message issued yesterday evening on behalf of the APC National Working Committee (NWC), Odigie-Oyegun thanked the good people of Edo State for the massive turnout during the election.
He also congratulated political parties and their candidates who contested the Edo governorship election for the fair play and relatively peaceful conduct displayed during the election exercise. He called for calm and appealed to the opposition parties to accept defeat in good faith.
