Matawalle said that it is important for state executive governors to be focussed while in office in delivering good governance and dividends of democracy to the people because, at the end of the day, it is such performance that will speak for him during an election.

"I rejoice with you Godwin Obaseki as your people once again give you the opportunity to take command of your state.

Congratulations my brother for the sweet victory," Governor Matawalle added.
