Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki on Tuesday said President
Muhammadu Buhari should be remembered as the father of democracy in Nigeria.
“This is because the president had a choice to ensure and
insist that his party wins in the state but he rose above partisan politics and
insisted the right be done,” he said.
Obaseki said this after receiving his certificate of return.
He also extended a hand of fellowship to Osagie Ize-Iyamu, and other colleagues in the APC to move Edo forward.
Obaseki also commended the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC’s National Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, for his
steadfastness and withstanding pressure during Saturday’s election.
“Despite all the criticisms, the ability of INEC to view
results as the counting was taking place in polling units is one innovation we
urge INEC to maintain and improve on.
“This has introduced a different element of transparency in
the way we conduct elections in Nigeria.
Obaseki also hailed His Royal Majesty, Oba of Benin, Oba
Ewuare II, for his fatherly role, for the prayers for peace, and for being that
symbol we all look up to.
