Ebullience:
Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki says he is confident of returning to power as first man of the state because “power comes from God.”

The governor who disclosed this on Wednesday, in an interview on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, noted that he is a man of peace, not an violent person.

“I am not a violent person. But I am confident that the way I got into power is the same way I will return.

“God gave me power. If he wants me to return I will continue. No man can stop me. Power comes from God,” he said.

Obaseki speaking concerning violence during election said he has always canvassed for peace and believes election should not lead to bloodshed.

The governor who also spoke concerning the political rift within his party the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, stated that he is not distracted, adding that his focus is on developing Edo State.

“We have always canvassed for peace. What are the issues in Edo and what are the issues that cannot be resolved in a democracy. Our concern is to use the resources of the people to develop the state.

“This shouldn’t lead to bloodshed. We will not accept to be cowed and intimidated because some people think that they can manipulate rules and cut corners,” he added.

When asked if it’s not the resources of the people of Edo State that was used for him to become the governor, Obaseki said, “I have friends with resources. I worked for eight years behind the scene before I became governor.

“So all that insinuations about using somebody’s resources…I became Governor on the platform of the party and I am grateful for it.”

He expressed confidence that the rule of law will prevail in the forthcoming Edo State election because he is sure that Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari believes in the rule of law and will allow things to be done openly.

Obaseki further noted that he is not in contest with anyone, stressing that he is confident of victory.

“It does not matter whether it is direct or indirect (primaries), I will win,” he said.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling APC, currently led by the National Chairman of the party and former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole had earlier on May 22 announced its decision to adopt direct primary for the coming governorship primaries in Edo State scheduled to hold on June 22.

Edo state elections is going to be a case study on how ondo elections will also play out. Two Governors going for re-election and both are in the camp that are against the Apc national chairman. The real chess players are in abuja and it is all about 2023 presidential apc primaries.The asiwaju camp on one side that oshiomole belongs to and the El Rufai/Fayemi camp that Obaseki now belongs to.Edo state primaries will be very bloody with two different primaries being held by both the Apc Nwc and the Apc state chapter.Each will try to make sure it stops the other from successfully holding its primary.The implosion will also affect Pdp to the point where their primaries will bring rancour and a lot of court litigations will play out.I for see oshiomole nursing a candidate in another party and waiting for the fall out of the two major parties to make his move.Oshiomole wants to make sure that Obaseki is not brought back at all cost,because a two time governor is an automatic leader and Obaseki will cut all his wings once re-elected.

Heffalump:


Buhari will be foolish to fold his hands and watch this drama play out.
