Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo on Tuesday in Benin said that he has no regrets whatsoever in forgiving Tony Adun, the All Progressives Congress (APC) youth leader in the state.

Obaseki stated this while addressing leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in his Oredo Local Government Area of the state.

The Governor’s reaction was coming on the heels of social media comments that trailed the Christmas gift of a cow and bags of rice to Adun, popularly known as Kabaka after he begged the governor for forgiveness.

According to Obaseki, “Since last night, I have been hearing lots of comments that I gave cow and rice to Kabaka. I read some people who said they are my supporters and I felt bad. I say they are not my supporters.

“This is Christmas, we are celebrating Christ, the basis of our Christianity and religion. Before politics, we are human beings, so if we cannot show humanity, then we will not be humble politicians.

“If a grandfather can come out in the social media to beg for forgiveness, go to church and begged for forgiveness, who am I not to forgive the person.

“I am a mere mortal. I am Governor today because of God, so if I now play God I am not sure God will forgive me”, he said.

He said those commenting on social media can go ahead, adding that they are not Christians and they are not leaders.

The Governor said that he was trying to be magnanimous in victory by bringing everyone together, irrespective of their political party affiliation.

Earlier, Sen. Matthew Urhoghide, representing Edo South Senatorial District, urged PDP members to be loyal to the Governor, saying that politics is a game of numbers.

Obaseki you sure say you don forgive Kabaka so?

Kabaka my man... Always learn to live till you gain control

Forgiveness is a Hallmark of matured minds

Great move...

Forgiveness is indeed divine.

Kabaka and the likes are the kind of billionaires Nigeria produces..

Government enhanced billionaire (GEB)

Obaseki is a smart guy and I love the fact that he killed and buried godfatherism in Edo state. This is something the Northern and South Western Region should emulate. Until godfatherism is reduced to the barest minimum we will keep having terrible leaders.

@ Obaseki, you have the right to remain silent on this issue on ground. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

Forgive....but you don forget?

Your matter

What you're saying is not important.
You're just like Abia and Benue state Governor.

Bad Money is speaking. Believe at your own peril.

In saner climes, Tony would be under investigation by law enforcement for his alleged involvement in Cultism and gang related violence. But here we are! He's receiving Gifts from Government

You cannot beg someone more than the way Kabaka begged him. That is the highest form of begging. The video is online forever.

Hm

Tony is a nice guy if you really get to know him very well
