very good

We told them, Edo no be Lagos. In Edo, we fight man to man, fiercely like a lion. Godwin Obaseki has fault a good fight so far, and his major casualty was hitting a heavy blow on Oshiomole (by ensuring his suspension from the Ward Level).
Had Obaseki not fought Oshiomole like he did, I would have doubt if he had Edo blood running his blood.

Brave Governor, joining well organised party.

Brave Governor. Edo is not Lagos.

Congratulations to him. He has fought like a man. Even if he loses at the polls (which I doubt), Obaseki will always have my respect and that of millions of Nigerians.
