Edo State Governor and winner of the September 19, 2020, governorship election in the state , Godwin Obaseki, has called on the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole ; and the APC candidate in the Saturday election , Osagie Ize - Iyamu, to put their differences aside and work for the betterment of the state .
Obaseki stated this during a speech on Tuesday after the Independent National Electoral Commission issued him and his deputy , Phillip Shaibu , certificates of return.
INEC ’s National Commissioner in charge of Edo , Rivers, and Bayelsa States , Mrs May Agbmuche -Mbu , made the presentation at the INEC office in Aduwawa, Benin City , the Edo State capital .
The PUNCH had reported on Sunday that INEC declared Obaseki, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, as the winner of the keenly contested election .
INEC ’ s Returning Officer , Prof. Akpofure Rim - Rukeh, said Obaseki polled 307 ,955 votes to defeat his closest rival, Ize - Iyamu, who got 223, 619 votes.
Delivering a speech on Tuesday at INEC’ s office, Obaseki said , “ To our friends and our brothers on the other side of the divide, we are one family in the pursuit to provide services and public good for our citizens.
“ Our citizens have decided that as for now, they trust us more to provide them leadership. It does not mean that they do not have a role to play. It does not mean that they are not part of a family.

“ I ’m using this opportunity to extend the hand of fellowship to my brother, Pastor Osagie Ize - Iyamu, and his other colleagues in the All Progressives Congress to join us and work with us so that we can move Edo forward .
“ On a specific note, I want to use this occasion to call on the former chairman of the APC , Comrade Adams Oshiomhole , that the fight is over and he should come and join in building the house where he was part of laying the foundation .
“ We have no malice , the only thing we disagreed on is in the approach in moving Edo forward .”

Oya my boy solmus shout torgba 7 times

Edolites are not yeroba Muslims that worship Mc Oluomo the criminal thug

solmus come here and shout torgba

Good one there

That is the consummate politician!

This Edo Election sweet me....

I advised obaseki to wait o
This person don't forget even if you forgive them
They tell you its their right for you to overlook their errors but don't care about your own right

This is what he ought to do since instead of obsessing himself with needless stroking of political bickering.

“ We have no malice , the only thing we disagreed on is in the approach in moving Edo forward .”

Very mature response.

And you expect acceptance

You've done so well Obaseki

God is so pleased with you

Sportsmanly.
Make una tell Oshio make e come out say Ize-Iyamu no go beat am.

Shebi Oshiomole wan work, make e go collect commissionership or SA job na.

Shameless people.

This is better!

We guess some wise people have advised him from the pride and foolishness his brain went to into in the first 24 hours after winning the election, talking like a proud little tout, Abusing everyone.

The progress of Edo state is what really matters at this point, not political foolishness.
Enough of the jargons, threats, bickering and foolishness he has been spewing just after 24 hours.
Go straight to work and move Edo state forward Mr Guv!

God bless Edo State.
God bless Nigeria.


Even our darling number one wailer on Nairaland, who campaigned for him day and night,
sometimes, even forgetting to eat!
has got some good advice for him below.
Pride truly goes before a fall!

Racoon:
In so much that that is true, Obaseki should stay clear of senseless political bickering & face governance that Edo people have given him a privileged mandate to exercise. Pride can also destroy him.

peacettw:
True. My thoughts exactly.

It is always good and refreshing to see that we have reasonable members like you on this forum.
Good to see we are not the only one.
A better Nigeria all around is all we want.
End of Discussion.

NGpatriot:
The immature and juvenile clown don get sense? Is this not what you should have done?

Don't mind the big kid.

Forgiveness..

v

You're a leader indeed . Now I know

Yorubas would say, ariwo ko ni music...meaning music no be for noise. If your music is sweet in the ears, noise isn't necessary. Obaseki is a quiet but, dogged fighter

Sure governor

Obaseki is a comrade

Obaseki should just relax.

I give him only 3 months.

PDP tax collectors will soon put their knee on his neck.

They are masters in sharing money.

Ok
