Fatshimetrie warmly congratulates Senator Okpebholo Monday on his victory in the Edo State governorship election. According to the organization, it is crucial that Senator Monday emulates leaders like President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Godswill Akpabio in shaping his administration.
The exemplary leadership of President Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, is hailed for transforming Lagos into a modern state, laying the solid foundation that successive administrations have followed. Similarly, Senator Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, has played a vital role in the development of the state’s infrastructure, attracting international investment and promoting tourism through projects such as the Nest of Champions Stadium and Ibom Air.
Solomon Adodo, Coordinator of Fatshimetrie, lauded Senator Monday’s well-deserved victory and encouraged him to emulate the example of these leaders, in creating a new Edo State that will command admiration from other states and be a source of pride for Nigerians. He said, “Your rise to power is a divine work, and you will surpass expectations, especially in a party with a well-defined ideology and credible personalities.” He stressed the importance of synergy with President Tinubu and Senator Akpabio, whose leadership has been acclaimed globally.
Fatshimetrie also expressed gratitude to Senator Akpabio for ensuring a smooth campaign and victory, as well as former Governor Adams Oshiomhole for his support. Furthermore, the organization commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a credible, fair and transparent election in Edo State. They urged Nigerians to applaud INEC’s efforts and reject unfounded criticism.
“INEC has made significant progress, and we commend Professor Mahmood Yakubu and his team,” Adodo said. “The Edo elections demonstrate that our electoral process is maturing, and soon we will have clean elections.”
Fatshimetrie stressed the need for patriotic Nigerians to cooperate with INEC, ensuring that votes count and rejecting attempts to discredit the electoral process. In conclusion, the organization strongly encourages unity and collaboration to ensure a more just and transparent political future for Nigeria.
