Edo Election: Victory For Democracy – Gboluga

…Commends INEC for fairness

Hon. Gboluga Ikengboju, congratulates His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) family and the good people of Edo State for their triumphance at the Saturday polls. 

Gboluga sees the process as victory for democracy even as he commends the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for their fairness and ability to allow the will of Edo people to prevail. 

Hon. Gboluga is hopeful that such feat would be beautifully replicated in Ondo State. To him, the Edo experience revives hope for a great, progressing and peaceful Nigeria. 

The lawmaker, however, charges Ondo State masses to draw inspiration from their neighbours in Edo by massively rejecting the oppression, repression and hardship meted on them by the ruling party in the state.
