THE Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has stated that the process of selecting his successor ahead of the Governorship election in 2024 must be fair, equitable, and inclusive, as his administration’s goal is to finish strong.
The governor stated this while speaking to journalists today, saying it is not his responsibility to decide, “appoint or anoint” his successor.
“But all I know is that in the process of seeking my successor, there must be fairness, equity, and a sense of inclusion because our goal is to keep Edo as one.
“For me, that is the only issue I understood that may be a problem and that should not stop us. The important thing for us as an administration is for us to finish strong and try to complete everything we told Edo people we would do for them during our campaign,” he declared.
On his relationship with the State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, the governor said, “I have nothing personal against the Deputy Governor and never had. For me, the issues are very straightforward.”
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission has stated that the Edo governorship election will be held on September 21, 2024.
