Governor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole seems to have an axe to grind with the Igbinedion’s family… “I want to make it clear to Lucky Igbinedion that the next governor can never be from the Igbinedion family. The next governor will be a people’s governor and that person, by the special grace of God, is Godwin Obaseki. I am aware that they are in pains since I became governor; I had to retrieve all they held hostage and gave (them) back to the people.”

“Our people will never go back to the dark days and my fight against godfathers has been successful and that is why, today, any Edo man or woman can become a governor without going to any godfather. They (godfathers) are crying and I am happy. They will continue to cry. So, let me tell Lucky, my good friend, to forget about the result of the election because his PDP and Ize-Iyamu will not win. He should ask himself what his PDP has done in Edo to deserve victory. So, they should stop their bad dream of victory. Edo people have rejected the godfathers and they will not return.”
