After months of intense political maneuvering, Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been declared the winner of the Edo State governorship election held on Saturday, September 21, 2024, News360 Nigeria reports.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Okpebholo’s victory late on Sunday.

Okpebholo, 54, secured 291,667 votes, defeating his closest rival, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who garnered 247,274 votes.

Labour Party’s candidate, Olumide Akpata, finished third with 22,761 votes, while fourteen other candidates received significantly fewer votes.

Prof. Faruk Kuta, the Returning Officer and Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, declared, "That Okpebholo Monday of APC, having satisfied the requirement of the law, is hereby declared the winner and is returned elected," at exactly 09:27 pm in Benin City to the cheers of APC supporters.

The APC candidate dominated in over 10 of the 18 local government areas, while the PDP managed narrow victories in the remaining councils.

The APC also secured control in two of the state’s three senatorial districts.

Okpebholo’s win was bolstered by strong backing from influential political figures, including Adams Oshiomhole, his National Assembly colleague from Edo North, and his running mate, federal lawmaker Dennis Idahosa.

The alliance also included Obaseki’s estranged deputy, Philip Shaibu, which further consolidated Okpebholo’s support base.

The victory marks the APC's return to power at the Dennis Osadebe Government House, following a four-year hiatus after the defection of the incumbent governor, Godwin Obaseki, to the PDP in 2020.

Obaseki’s fallout with Oshiomhole led him to switch parties and secure a second term under the PDP, which will end on November 12, 2024.

With Okpebholo now poised to assume office, the APC has successfully reclaimed its foothold in Edo State politics.

Edo State finally chose a candidate that promised them Insecurity. Smh

Winner of Edo governorship election dies not concern me.

The most important to me now is the pant I'm going to shift this night

Beremx, you have infected Pdp with your bad luck.

Tueh!

As complex as Nigeria's politics seems to be, it is one of the most easiest to predict the elections outcome.

If you predict the outcome without emotions and sentiments...you have about 98% chance of correct predictions.

It's just too logically clear Asue Ighodalo will lose simply because of Governor Obaseki's multiple political fights. He allowed many political heavyweights to leave PDP...he thinks he doesn't want an...Na so

Ose oshe oooo,oshe ooò,oshe baba .


National Anthem for our incoming Governor. His EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR MONDAY OKPEBHOLO. THE Executive GOVERNOR OF EDO STATE." NIGERIA WILL HAIL THEE

Obaseki's fight with his deputy Philip Shaibu, paved the way for APC to win this election.
