Describing the victory as a referendum by Edo people for continuity and good governance, Hon Tenebe commended President Muhammed Buhari, INEC and security agencies for supervising a free, fair and credible election.
In a press statement signed by him, Hon. Tenebe commended Governor Obaseki for confronting and demystify the powers of godfatherism in the state to nothingness as shown in the election results.
He equally thanked Edo electorates for the confidence they reposed in the PDP candidates in the election, stressing their support as evidently shown in the voting pattern which saw the governor scoring the required spread across the local government areas in the state as a watershed.
Tenebe also commended the deputy governor of the state, Comrade Philip Shaibu for his strength and courage in mobilising support for his principal in Edo North, noting that by his actions and comportment, Comrade Shaibu has proven to be a trusted and highly dependable person.
The Ikabigbo born politician, who was also a former commissioner in the state, assured Edo people that Governor Obaseki would not depart from his administration's focus on transforming the state into an economic hub where opportunities are bound for generations yet unborn.
In particular, he said: "l am delighted at the large crowd of enthusiastic voters who defied all forms of intimidation, inducement and bullying deployed by the opposition on election day and gave their mandate to Governor Obaseki and the PDP.
"By this act alone, the voice of the people resonated loudly across the nook and cranny of Edo State. It was indeed a sweet victory, and a political referendum which will remain in the heart of Edolite for many years to come".
