The former Governor of Edo State also hailed the winner of the keenly contested election and governor-elect, Chukwuma Soludo.
The APC chieftain made this known in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Victor Oshioke, on Friday. The statement was titled, ‘Oshiomhole congratulates Soludo for winning Anambra State Governorship Election’.
The former party chairman was quoted as saying, “Dear Prof. Charles Soludo, I congratulate you on your victory in the Anambra governorship election concluded recently. It is indeed a victory richly deserved given your impressive antecedents.
“Now that the election is over, the expectations of Anambra people are understandably high especially because of your rich background. You, therefore, have a unique opportunity to raise the bar in politics and governance to meet the aspirations of Anambra people.
“I pray that God give you good health, better understanding, wisdom, vision and more courage to build on the foundation laid by your predecessors to take Anambra State to an enviable level”
“May I also use this medium to congratulate my friend Dr. Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress and Valentine Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party for their good showing in the election. Democracy thrives best when there is healthy contestation and credible alternatives for the people to choose from. They both provided that choice creditably.
