In a recently released report, the National Bureau of Statistics revealed the state of foreign direct
investment in Nigeria. It was disheartening to learn in the report that 18 out of the 36 states in
the country failed to attract any foreign investment between 2021 and 2023. Among these states
is Edo State, under the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki. The dearth of any foreign
investment in Edo State is a clear indicator of the lack of progress and gripping economic
mismanagement under the current administration.
It is imperative to address the glaring issues of lack of focus, creativity, and gross incompetence
that have characterized the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration, leading to the
stagnation of Edo State's economic growth. The absence of foreign direct investments in the state
speaks volumes about the failure of leadership to attract and retain crucial investments necessary
for sustainable development.
Governor Godwin Obaseki has fallen short in steering Edo State towards economic prosperity.
While boastful of a team of "brilliant minds," the results of their governance paint a stark contrast
between rhetoric and reality. What they say they are is at crossroads with who they really are. The
penchant of the current leadership of Edo State to talk more than their advertised capacity can
handle, has left Edo State floundering, with promises unfulfilled and potential untapped.
The so-called brilliance within the administration has failed to translate into tangible benefits for
the people of Edo State.
As we approach the next election cycle, it is crucial for the people of Edo State to consider the
future of their state carefully. The failures of the current administration should serve as a wake-up
call for voters to demand better governance and leadership that prioritizes the interests of the
state and its people above all else.
We beg to ask where the brilliance of the economic team of the Obaseki administration is hidden.
As things appear, it impresses the discerning mind and lover of Edo State to see through the
smokescreen, and that what is being peddled as performance in real, actual terms is nothing but
repetitive failure disguised as deceptive grammar yet having no real impact on our brothers and
sisters in hundreds of communities across the state.
In conclusion, the lack of foreign direct investments in Edo State is a clear reflection of the failure
of leadership under Governor Godwin Obaseki. The time has come for the people of Edo State to
rise up, demand accountability, and vote for change. Edo State deserves a brighter future, and it is
in the hands of the citizens to make that future a reality through their votes and actions.
