The Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, has congratulated the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Biodun Oyebanji, on his resounding victory in the Ekiti State governorship election, which was held on Saturday.

Lawan congratulated the APC, both at the state and national levels, and the people of Ekiti on the peaceful and successful conduct of the poll.

The Senate President, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Ola Awoniyi, said the outcome of the election further demonstrates the trust and confidence of Nigerians across the country in the APC.

He said the smooth conduct of the election is an indication of what to expect in next year’s general elections as democracy continues to grow firm roots in Nigeria under the APC Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Senate President commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for delivering a poll that has been widely adjudged as free, fair, transparent, and hitch-free.

He wished the governor-elect, Oyebanji, God’s guidance as he prepares for his onerous task ahead.

Tinubu’s silent and unreported achievements -By Tunde Rahman

This piece is not really about the re-engineering work that is being done on the economy, which is now recording a gradual growth. For instance, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, the nation recorded a 2.98% growth in the first quarter of this year, higher than 2.31% recorded in the same period in 2023.

Asiwaju Tinubu and Edo Election By Tunde Rahman

The tension-soaked Edo governorship election may have been concluded with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announcing Governor Godwin Obaseki as the winner of the poll. However, one is not unmindful of the fact that the election may not have been completely over as it were. Obaseki’s main challenger, the All Progressives Congress candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, says he is still studying the result and consulting widely on his next line of action. This is within his sphere to do.
