The governing All Progressives Congress on Monday, conceded defeat 24 hours after Governor Godwin Obaseki, of the Peoples Democratic Party was declared winner of the Edo Governorship Election.

Chairman of the Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee, Mai Mala Buni, in a statement titled, “Edo State Governorship Election: Victory for Democracy,” which he signed, congratulated Obaseki over his victory.

Buni said, “Edo State Governorship election is over, the winner has been declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission in the person of the Mr. Godwin Obaseki, candidate of the People Democratic Party.

“We hereby congratulate the winner of the election, the people of Edo State and all Nigerians. The peaceful conduct of the election and its outcome represent victory for Nigeria’s democracy

“As a party, we join our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, to affirm our ‘commitment to free and fair elections’ in order to strengthen ‘the foundation for our political and moral authority.

“We commend INEC, our security agencies and all political parties that contested the election for the successful conduct of the election. As a governing party, we will take every step necessary to support the Federal Government to consolidate all the gains achieved. “

Given the initial press release by the their national publicity sec-Yekini Nabena that the Edo election was marked by electoral irregularities only for them to do this volte face.This still proves that the APC have no iota of integrity, lack cohesion as a band of chronic liars, scammers and anti-democratic people.

The eventual turnout of the Edo election really dazed these wicked people that have set the worst standard for anything but good governance.So that initial denial stage of grief was too much for them to handle.

"Victory for democracy" only when dem win una.but,when apc wins,na victory for apc..ole!woooooo!.

Arrrrrrrh

If you want to lose completely in politics join APC. Those folks got nothing to show forth in Nigeria ..

They are welcome

Why is it beginning to feel like some of the APC governors who helped remove Oshiomole also wanted Obaseki to win??

Buni is at helms in APC today through the instrumentality of Obaseki who prompted a ward chairman to suspend Oshiomole from the party.

He's got to be loyal, men!

Tell Monica Degbem to disband the Tribunal already.

Abi na candidate of other parties wey no score reach 1k votes wan go Tribunal go do Wetin?

Before nko. Tinubu and Oshiomhole were massively disgraced on Saturday by the good people of Edo State and they have no other option except to admit defeat.

We look forward to see the rejection of God-fatherism in yoruba land, and that is if the Yorubas can muster the courage, though I'm afraid that may not happen. But we can only hope.

@ electoral tribunal
I also wondered what's the purpose
Whether or not they accepted the masses votes result .we are convinced and content with what Edolites said with their votes.

Was Yekini Nabena not a member of Oshiomole's NWC that was sacked? Why is he still regarding himself as the National Publicity Secretary? How did he get the position when the party itself only has a Caretaker Committee?

Both Nabena and Isa-Onilu still see themselves occupying the previous positions. Are they members of the Caretaker Committee? Or where did they derive the authority? Are they still legally occupying those positions? And why should the media continue to indulge them by taking what they say as official?

Buhari is really a man of integrity. Edo State election has brought a very new dimension to democracy in Nigeria.

The out conduct and outcome of this election will go a very long way in future elections in Nigeria.

Now we will begin to see the real change.

That election will be remembered as one of the most free and fairest elections in the history of Nigeria.

I only hope if Akeredolu wins in Ondo we won't see people wailing that it was rigged.

Congratulations Obaseki

Akeredolu should not be too confident because Jegede's time is now

As if they had any other choice

Yoruba Muslims in severe pains right now...



They didn't acknowledge their god with a decayed brown teeth that ozees out a pungent offensive odour every single minute of the the day

They’re reluctantly throwing in the towel because they intend to go for broke in the upcoming Ondo elections! If you know...you know!

They had to, as they had no option. They just wanted to form gra gra, but deep down they knew the loss was imminent as that retired comrade of a man and another godfather from somewhere did more harm than good.

See finishing!

Good to hear. Don't mind the gang that call them themselves father of Nigerian democracy but cannot accept and concede in a free and fair election.

What matters to Ize Iyamu and his gang is to force Obaseki to go and spend Edo money in the court. Money that is meant for development will be spent on lawyers and judges. Where then is their love for Edo state.

Oshiomole to me do not understand democracy at all. If not why would you allow direct primaries in some states and indirect in other states?

Again my fear in all these is that if I remember how I celebrated Oshiomole annihilating Tony Anenih and Ogbinedion gang, it makes me become afraid that Obaseki could be another god father to worry about in the near future.

Obaseki won fair and square...they had no choice but to conceded defeat!

Very greedy and evil party won't the lawyers eat...please they should proceed to the tribunal oo...SANs must take their share of the election largesse.

Why now....they must proceed to court

Nice
