A group, N’ Edo gheria, has endorsed the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki
The group, in a statement by its national coordinator, Agene Patrick, said Obaseki’s experience in corporate business world makes him the best candidate to govern the state at this point in time when revenue from crude oil can no longer survive the nation.
According to the group, good governance had been crucial to the growth and development of the state adding that the APC-led government had “unleashed the creative and productive potential of the people.”
It argued that there was no need to vote for another party because the APC had fixed many pressing challenges in the state.
The statement partly read, “We want to state here that Edo State is not for learners and beginners any more. Edo is now a serious business that shouldn’t be left in the hands of try and error. It is now too sophisticated to be managed by greenhorns or those merely at the corridor of power. We need continuity.
“It is on records and visibly clear to all that what has happened in our state and what the issues are before the electorate. It is a case of showing what you have done while you were in government and for us at N’ Edo gheria, APC government has shown that with them, Edo state is on the path of greatness. Oshiomhole laid the foundation while Obaseki should consolidate them.
“Lest we forget so soon what the state of infrastructures and environmental decay just to mention a few that confronted us as a state under the PDP led government. Here was a city that was ravaged by flood, rain became a curse rather than blessing, the King square was so filthy and littered with human feaces among others but thank God all that is now past, thanks to APC.
“We are saying that Edo can no longer go back to those years of locust, we believe in the path of continuity and the ticket of Godwin Obaseki and Honorable Philip Shaibu.”
