The Secretary General, Textile Workers’ Union of Nigeria, Mr Issa Aremu, has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the successful conduct of the Edo State governorship election.
In a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Kaduna, Aremu “also hails Mr Godwin Obaseki the winner in an election globally adjudged to be transparent, free and fair.”
He also acknowledged the role of other stakeholders including the contestants, political parties and security agents for cooperating with INEC at ensuring a peaceful election.
“We commend the good people of Edo State for turning out to vote the candidates of their choice and in particular for their abiding faith in democracy and the progressive direction of the Comrade Governor, Adam Oshiomhole. With such high participation, all Edo people are winners,” he said on behalf of the union.
INEC had yesterday declared Obaseki as winner of the keenly-contested governorship election in the state.
