The APC leader also congratulated Comrade Oshiomhole for his achievements in Edo, which helped in retaining Edo for APC.

With the election of Obaseki, Asiwaju Tinubu said Edo had taken after Lagos in the Continuity model, which has worked assiduously well for the people of Lagos State.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Obaseki, as the Governor-elect on Thursday afternoon..
