Daniel Vilela gives his first speech after winning as governor of Goiás

In his first speech after the victory, Daniel Vilela (MDB) spoke about continuing the projects of the previous government, in which he was vice-president with Ronaldo Caiado (PSD). "We will continue moving forward, creating a great government," he declared. He also remembered his father and former governor of Goiás, Maguito Vilela.

"I want to ask for your permission to pay homage to my father, who governed this state 30 years ago. He did his best, the great government that served the people who needed it most and I am convinced that it was under his government that this state promoted a great turning point in development. And today, having this privilege of being able to rescue this legacy and continue this history is, for me, a great emotion", he stated.
