The Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has congratulated Ireti Kingibe, the female Senator-elect of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) who won the seat on the party’s platform.
Kingibe was among the Senators-elect who received their Certificates of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday.
The certificates were presented to the winners of the recently concluded senatorial elections held on February 25 at the National Collation Centre (International Conference Centre) in Abuja by INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu.
Obi said in a tweet on Tuesday evening that Kingibe’s election as the FCT senator-elect is consistent with the party’s commitment to women and youth.
Former Anambra State Governor, who also shared photos of himself and Kingibe, stated that Nigerians will look forward to her diligent service and contribution to nation-building.
