The former Edo State governor said with the conduct of the Edo State governorship election, it shows that credible election is possible in Nigeria.
He said, “I don’t have much to say but to thank God that no life was lost during the election. For us in APC, we have learnt our lessons and will bounce back in subsequent election.
Also, factional chairman of Edo APC, Anselm Ojezua said Obaseki’s victory at the poll is an attestation to his earlier position that the governor remains the most treasured asset.
“I received the victory with mixed feelings, this should have been APC but they pushed the governor away. I am the state chairman of APC even though the party was said to have contested this election, you will notice that they conducted their campaigns without the party.
“They treated the party with contempt and unfortunately the national organ of the party coorperated with them in this negligence believing that they could secure victory without the platform. So, we were just there looking at them. I think we are all wiser now”, he said.
