It was a carnival-like atmosphere when Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo state, hit the streets of Benin city on Monday.
Obaseki, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Saturday’s election, defeated Osagie Ize-Iyamu, his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival.
The supporters proceeded to the government house where they joined the governor and his wife alongside Philip Shaibu, his deputy.
Obaseki, his wife and deputy as well as PDP leaders later drove through the streets as residents danced to the campaign theme songs.

Obaseki should recover all public funds stolen by Oshopikin.
What a sweet victory!!!!! This is what Nigerians have been yearning for: Free, fair, credible and transparent election where the will of the people shall count. Congratulations to Edo people. I hope PMB will also allow Ondo people to do same!
