Former President Goodluck Jonathan says the re-elected governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki, must ensure that he governs all people of his state without any partisan bias.
Dr Jonathan who made the admonition in a series of tweets on Sunday congratulated the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and also congratulated the electoral umpire for overseeing the polls successfully.
The former president was of the opinion that democracy can only be consolidated to promote good governance in Nigeria and Africa when elections become credible, transparent, and truly represent the wish of the voters.
Below are the tweets as posted by Dr. Jonathan, via his official Twiter handle.

Through their ballot papers, Edo people have spoken in favour of Governor Obaseki. He should therefore rise above partisan politics and govern for the good of all.
