Popular blogger, Tunde Ednut has reacted to the results of the just-concluded governorship elections in Edo State.

The influencer in a post on his Instagram page predicts that Edo State will be governed by former Edo State Governor, Adam Oshiomhole who is the political god-father of the party's governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo.

"Edo State, very soon, una go know say na Adams Oshiomole be una Governor again," Tunde Ednut wrote in pidgin as a video was Adams Oshiomhole speaking after Senator Okpebholo was declared the winner of the elections.

Okpebholo secured 291,667 votes to defeat Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who received 247,274 votes, and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP), who came in a distant third with 22,763 votes. Fourteen other candidates contested the seat but received fewer votes than the three main candidates.

“That Okpebholo Monday of APC, having satisfied the requirements of the law, is hereby declared the winner and returned elected,” INEC’s Returning Officer for the poll, Prof Faruk Kuta, announced at exactly 09:27 pm, to joyful cheers from APC supporters at the collation center in Benin City, the state capital, on Sunday.
