The All Progressives Congress (APC), Edo State Chapter, extends its heartfelt congratulations to Hon. Joseph Ikpea, Senator elect to represent Edo Central Senatorial District, and Hon. Omosede Igbinedion, Member elect to represent Ovia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, on their remarkable victories in the just concluded by-elections.
These victories are not merely personal achievements but a resounding affirmation of the trust and confidence the people of Edo State have reposed in them as credible, visionary, and people-oriented leaders. Their success at the polls underscores the growing faith of Edo people in the ideals, vision, progressive governance and philosophy of the All Progressives Congress.
The Edo APC recognizes the hard work, resilience, and consistency that both Hon. Joseph Ikpea and Hon. Omosede Igbinedion demonstrated throughout the electioneering process. We equally commend the steadfast support of our party faithful, leaders, and the electorate, whose sacrifices and unwavering commitment to democracy made these victories possible.
As they prepare to take up their new responsibilities, we charge Hon. Joseph Ikpea and Hon. Omosede Igbinedion to remain steadfast in their commitment to serve with integrity, fairness, and passion for the collective good of their constituents. We are confident that they will bring to bear their wealth of experience, political maturity, and people-focused leadership in ensuring that the dividends of democracy are delivered to all.
The APC, Edo State Chapter, assures them of our continuous support and collaboration as they join other progressive voices in deepening democratic values, strengthening legislative engagements, and contributing to policies that will uplift the lives of our people. We also call on the electorate to continue to support them with prayers, constructive engagement, and active participation in governance, as democracy thrives best when leaders and citizens work together.
Furthermore, the APC Edo State Chapter commends the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the professional conduct of the elections, which reflects transparency and adherence to democratic principles. We also appreciate the security agencies for their vigilance, impartiality, and dedication in ensuring a peaceful, credible, and hitch-free electoral process.
In the spirit of democracy, we extend a hand of fellowship to our brothers and sisters in the opposition. Elections are but a phase in the democratic journey; what matters most is the collective development of our dear Edo State. We therefore urge all political actors to put aside partisan differences and work together for the progress, unity, and prosperity of our people.
As a party, we reaffirm our commitment to aligning with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, by ensuring that Edo State benefits maximally from people-oriented policies and sustainable development initiatives. Together, we must build a stronger Edo where every citizen can thrive under the principles of justice, equity, and inclusiveness.
Once again, on behalf of the leadership and members of our great party, we congratulate Hon. Joseph Ikpea and Hon. Omosede Igbinedion on this historic victory, and we wish them great success as they embark on this noble journey of service to the people and to our dear state.
