He said the smooth conduct of the election is an indication of what to expect in next year’s general elections as democracy continues to grow firm roots in Nigeria under the APC Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Senate President commended the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) for delivering a poll that has been widely adjudged as free, fair, transparent and hitch-free.

Lawan wishes the Governor-elect, Mr Oyebanji, God’s guidance as he prepares for his onerous task ahead.
