The senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has expressed delight over his victory at the Nigerian Senate.

Recall that Oshiomole defeated the incumbent Senator Francis Alimekhena of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the polls with 107,110 votes.

Speaking during a party hosted in his honour by friends and well-wishers at his country home in Iyamho, Edo state, Oshiomhole said that many governors lost in their bids to become senator, adding that it would have been a shame to him if he also lost.

The former governor of Edo and former All Progressives Congress national chairman also said his blood pressure would have risen if he lost.

His words:

“If you have voted against me, I don’t know if my blood pressure will now be 240/0360, that is, if I’m still alive.

“Because the jubilations by the opponent would have been such that they will come and lock my small door and break my small bones, but you said no”, Oshiomhole told his audience.

He thanked the people for voting for President Bola Tinubu in the presidential election, adding that the Edo North district was the only district where Tinubu won in Edo.

He pledged his commitment to represent Edo North very well, adding that he has an obligation to ensure that the state benefited more from the Tinubu-led administration.
