The immediate past governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki has been exposed by his successor, Governor Monday Okpebholo.

Okpebholo said: “When I entered government, I had to use my money to buy my seat. Obaseki took his seat. The chair, yes. It was in the office with the Nigerian Coat of Arms. He took it. Somebody who can take an office chair, tell me what he will not take.”

“I am not the one probing them. The system will probe them. I’m telling you, so much money is tied to a different thing. Those monies will come out when the time comes. I’m not going to hide anything.”

“Can you even point out one godfather who was pushing me?” the governor queried when asked about his political lineage.”

“God was using people to help me, to support me, to get to where I am today.”

“Let me tell you, Edo people spoke. We were hungry for a change. Even in the next 20 years, I will win. When I won my Senate seat, there was a sitting senator. At that time, everything was working against us.”

“There was no water in my place, there was no light, there was no road, there was no money, no fuel. Everything was against us. Compared to the PDP that was favoured. But yet, we won.”
