Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said that the time for sharing public funds to a few greedy politicians was over in the state.

The governor said this on Tuesday when he received Muslim faithful, who were in Government House to celebrate the end of the Ramadan fast.

He noted that he would not be distracted from fulfilling his promises to the people no matter the antics of detractors.

According to him, “Only God gives power. What is going on in Edo State is the handiwork of detractors who want to frustrate the administration so we can fail in delivering the dividends of democracy to the people. But that will never happen.

“As a governor, I will continue to do my best and spend the state’s resources to ensure Edo people get the best.

“The (governorship) election is still a year ahead. What is playing out is a plan by very few greedy people who are concerned about themselves.

“We will continue to do our best in paying our workers and pensioners and will continue to develop the state as the time for sharing money is over. The resources of the state are meant for the people of the state.”

He said he will continue to support the Muslim community, noting that this was the first time he would be receiving Muslims at the Government House during a celebration like Sallah after the resolution of the crises at the Benin Central Mosque.

The Chief Imam of Benin Central Mosque, Alhaji Abdulfatai Enabulele, expressed appreciation to the Governor for receiving the Muslim community, thanking him for his support.

“We know leadership entails a lot of responsibility as we have witnessed your developmental strides in the state.

“We will continue to support and pray for your success. You have done a lot in delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Edo State.

“Your administration has provided pragmatic, dynamic policies and programmes that have touched the lives of the people of Edo State,” he added.

This is the only APC gov I like. See you in PDP soon.

How was the central mosque issue resolved? Will the mosque be relocated? Anything short than that, while Bob Izua's park is demolished will be seen as witch-hunt by most Edo citizens. Especially after his other buildings has been demolished.

Our wake and see governor, carry go jor. ...

Bob Izua's park, besides the central mosque was marked down for demolition so, the believe is that the central mosque will be brought down too since its on same space with the park. Seems the government doesn't want to alienate Muslims votes so they've been looking for a way to demolish the park without touching the mosque.

Oshiomole be looking at obaseki somehow now... I feel what happened to Ambode might happen to Obaseki

it's not about the votes, I think obaseki don't want too look as insensitive.

Muslims votes are inconsequential in Edo state

Nairaland Politician.

Go and ask the former Governor of Bauchi State that happened when he said that Christian votes from a local Government is inconsequential.

We have seen governorship elections won with less than 5,000 votes and you are saying Muslim votes are inconsequential.

Say no more sir

oga stop ranting Edo state isn't in the north or north central, we are in the south.

Muslims including outsiders residing here make less than 20% of the population so how are they going to influence any Election?

Is he trying to say Oshiomole who is his godfather was sharing money during his administration?
What does it take for any sensible person to know that nobody worth his onions would agree to become your 'boy-boy' after he becomes a governor? Oshiomole is learning in a hard way now. Akpabio, Orji Kalu, Peter Obi, Kwankwaso, etc, have also had their own shares.

Ride on Sir

Amen!

Sure he is stylishly referring to Oshiomhole

Oga work and don't talk

So y'all keep saying



I build websites and I am based in Abuja, see my signature

ok

That's why they dont want to give second tenure, I like this man sha he's good.

good one obaseki. Oshiomole wanted a percentage of the state money to be given him but with GGO's refusal, he started using second term ticket to intimidate him. Oshuomole must be informed that Edo is not Lagos

Great
