Oshiomhole was the first candidate to be mentioned by Mohammed with the delegates chorusing a aloud “Yes” in affirmation.
Mohammed then said: “Adams Oshiomole has won unopposed, so I want the congregation to affirm. Have you?”
The delegates chorused a loud “Yes,” to confirm the former Edo state governor as their choice.
