Mustafa Muhammed, INEC national commissioner in-charge of south-south zone, presented the certificates to Obaseki, and Phillip Shaibu, his deputy.

In a brief remark, Obaseki said he dedicated his victory to God Almighty, adding that one of the reasons he contested the poll was to expand and attract resources into state.

He thanked Edo people for their support during and after the election, and vowed to put their interest first before his.

He lauded INEC for the peaceful conduct of the election.
