I’ll Speak On Edo Elections At The Right Time – Tinubu

The National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that he will speak on the party’s loss in the Edo governorship election at the right time.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had announced that PDP candidate, Governor Godwin Obaseki, polled 307,955 votes to defeat his closest rival and APC candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who got 223,619 votes.

INEC also on Tuesday presented certificates of return to the re-elected governor and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, at INEC office in Aduwawa, Benin City, the state capital.
