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. It has been a long political battle and you have fought a good fight and ended with a good victory. May Allah continue to guide you as you continue to serve your people, delivering to them the dividends of democracy, said Governor Matawalle.

"Gradually, more and more people in different states are getting to realise the commitment of PDP Governors. PDP as a party, has been more focused.

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