President Bola Tinubu has extended his congratulations to Senator Monday Okpebholo, the Edo State governor-elect, for his victory in the recently concluded governorship election, Okay.ng reports.

Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, emerged victorious with 291,667 votes, defeating Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 247,274 votes.

Olumide Akpata, representing the Labour Party (LP), came in third with 22,763 votes.
