 The Governor-elect of Benio State, Reverend Father High St. Alia of the All Progressive Congress, has described his victory in Saturday's governorship election as remarkable and historic. The Catholic person, his victory speech shortly after being declared winner, acknowledged the enormous support he got from the people to emerge victorious, promising to meet the expectations of the people. I would like to congratulate my opponents from the other parties to making it an interesting contest. The anxious period of politicking is over. Now is the time to unite and face the challenges of development. Our state, Benway, is a total recent. Governance in our state has hit a historic low. This election is a mandate to reform and recalibrate governance in Benway. We need our hands, all good and ready hands to be on deck. We need men and women whom the spoils of office cannot buy. We need all who believe that a new Benway is possible. I believe there is an even greater obligation on me, in fact, on us all, to tell the Benway people very clearly the difficult choices and challenges that we have faced and how we will work our way through them.
