Speaking, Banky W said the election was free and fair, adding that he won the election by the grace of God and the will of the people.
He further expressed gratitude to the PDP for the opportunity to represent the party, adding: “I am overwhelmed by the support of my constituency, the people, the ward chairmen, the leaders, and the chieftains of the party.
“I feel the support even from the grassroots, honestly, I can’t be happier than I am now.”
