President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the electoral process in Edo State, which
led to the victory of Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The President in a statement made available by
his media aide, Garba Shehu, congratulated Obaseki and urged him to show grace
and humility in victory.
“My commitment to free and fair elections is firm, because
without free and fair elections, the foundation of our political and moral
authority will be weak.”
“I have consistently advocated for free and fair elections in the country because it is the bedrock of true democratic order.”
According to Buhari, “Democracy will mean nothing if the
votes of the people don’t count or if their mandate is fraudulently tampered
with.”
He further applauded the people of Edo State, the parties,
candidates and security agencies for conducting a peaceful election
