Asue Ighodalo and Olumide Akpata of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party finished in second and third places with 247,274 votes and 22,763 votes respectively.

Addressing journalists at the National Assembly Complex on Saturday, Osawaru, who represents Orhionmwon/Uhunmwode Federal Constituency, Edo State, described the emergence of the APC in the state’s power structure as a sign of good things to come.

He said, “With the way things were, and the governor making statements like ‘Nigeria will burn, it’s a do or die,’ and all that, the APC really had no choice but to go all out and work for its victory. We worked together and on the same page to ensure we won.

“The APC campaigned, we worked round the clock, and the results speak for themselves.”
