Edo election: What David Mark said about Obaseki’s victory

Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, has described the victory of Governor Godwin Obaseki in last Saturday’s gubernatorial poll in Edo state as a triumph of the will of the people.

Mark, in a congratulatory message yesterday to Obaseki and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) family, described the victory as freedom for the people and enthronement of democratic culture and practice in the country.

According to him, the overwhelming victory of the PDP candidate is a testimony of the people’s endorsement of good governance being demonstrated by the Obaseki administration in the last four years in Edo State.

The former Senate helmsman however told the governor to be magnanimous in victory by extending hands of fellowship to his opponent just as he urged him to spread social amenities to all parts of the state irrespective of political differences.

He said: “The entire state is your constituency. Demonstrate leadership and magnanimity as always to all. Be steadfast and work hard as always to justify the mandate and trust of the citizens of Edo State”.
