The candidates of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Young Progressive Party (YPP) for the Bende Federal House of Representatives have both congratulated Chief Benjamin Kalu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his victory in the recently concluded February 23, Igbere Tv reports.
Igbere Tv was able to obtain the congratulatory message by Barr. Emma Ugboaja, the APGA candidate, to BenKalu which was conveyed via SMS a day after INEC’s declaration of the election winner.
“My name is Emma Ugboaja, congratulations my brother. Cheers,” the message by Emma reads.
BenKalu while responding to Igbere Tv correspondent upon being asked about the congratulatory messages, said;
“Like I have always said, we were first brothers before politics and we will remain brothers after politics. I have received the congratulatory messages of the APGA and YPP candidates. They ran a good campaign and we all fought well. It is very noble of them to realize that now the elections are over, it is time for healing and unity in our mission to develop Bende.”
