“The people that wrote results and were announcing fake results on the internet, are the same people crying today that somebody rigged the election.

“I want to thank Esan people for standing by me and ensuring sound victory. Thank you for the confidence reposed in me and thank you for your vote. This crowd has shown that you people voted for me.

“I will not disappoint Edo people, I will not disappoint Esan people, I will do the right thing and allow justice to prevail.

“I thank the traditional rulers in the entire Esan land, leaders of Esan land, party leaders, and all that stood by me to become the governor of Edo State and above all I give God the glory,” Okpebholo said.

“We are happy to celebrate the victory God Almighty has given to us and we thank Edo people for the mandate as all can see that the governor has hit the ground running.
