"And now today, God by his infinite and Mighty power has decreed Senator Monday Akpatomeiza Alias Akpako rescue to make up for the 8 years of disaster of Obaseki and Asue together."

He added: "First we give all the thanks to God almighty that we did all those campaigns without casualties that we did all those campaigns without any allegations against the candidate and any one of us, for visiting violence on anyone. Even when they planned they did succeed in killing the bodyguard in order to frighten him. God said my son whom i have anointed will not be frightened ".

The Returning Officer for the election, Prof. Faruk Adamu Kuta, who is also the Vice-Chancellor, Federal University of Technology, Minna, announced the results at the Collation Centre in Benin City , the State Capital.
