The senator representing Lagos West District, Senator Idiat Adebule, has congratulated the Edo State governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on his victory in Saturday’s governorship election.
Senator Adebule, in a statement, rejoiced with President Bola Tinubu, officers and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at all levels, especially those of Edo State, for working hard to secure the victory and ensure an additional member to the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF).
She commended the people of Edo State for casting their votes for Senator Okpebholo and the APC.
The victory, according to her, is a confirmation that the people are hopeful of a brighter and prosperous future for Nigeria which is the main focus of the economic reforms being implemented by President Tinubu’s administration.
