The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has congratulated Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki and his Deputy, Philip Shaibu, on their swearing-in for a second term in office.

Chief Judge of the State, Justice Esther Edigin administered the Oath of Office during the ceremony which took place on Thursday at the Tennis Court of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.

The PDP took to its official Twitter account to congratulate both men as they continued what they started four years ago under the All Progressives Party (APC).
