Obaseki Dares Oshiomhole

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State seems to be battle-ready for his political godfather and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.

Addressing teachers, market women, pensioners, youths, religious leaders and other groups at the Museum Ground, Kings Square, in Benin City, on Thursday, July 11th, 2019 to express support for his government, he said;

“I dare politicians in the state who now operate from Abuja to come and take over activities of the Edo State House of Assembly. It is regrettable that some politicians who have in time past joined in the struggle to entrench ‘Let the people lead’ mantra in Edo state now seek to work against the people.”

“Edo is in safe hands with me, Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu and Secretary to State Government, Osarodion Ogie Esq. on the saddle.  The political tension is to distract me but I will remain focus on delivery of democracy dividends. We will continue to remain focused.”

“Our focus is to use the money we have in Edo State to build infrastructure, assist our children get the best education and maintain leadership in education in the country and continue to produce the best manpower for our country.”

“I will continue to commit to my electoral promises to Edo people to create a minimum of 200,000 jobs in my first term in office. By the grace of God. I have already created over a 100,000 jobs.”

“We are not there yet, but we will get there. What I will not do as a governor and an Edo man, is eat the seed yam which is meant for cultivation so that we can have a bumper harvest. The little money we have today, I will not allow anyone eat it.”

“The money is meant to be invested so that we can have a future for our children in this country. This is the struggle which started 12 years ago and which we must lead. We have not started. This is the beginning.”
