Obaseki's choice of Omobayo as Deputy Governor Achieves Three Key Political Objectives, Strengthening PDP-Obidients Alliance - Stakeholders

Political stakeholders in Edo have commended Godwin Obaseki, the Edo State Governor over his choice of Engr. Omobayo Marvellous Godwin as the new deputy governor of the state. The appointment of the 38-year-old engineer came after the impeachment of Comrade Philip Shaibu by the State House of Assembly due to gross misconduct.

Engr. Omobayo was sworn in on Monday afternoon, and stakeholders who commented on the development commended Governor Obaseki for achieving three strategic political objectives simultaneously with this appointment.

Speaking in Benin, Martins Onaivi, a prominent member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Oredo, described the decision as excellent, emphasizing that it addressed the need to ensure fair political representation for Edo North.

"The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has made a fantastic choice. The youth are delighted and excited. Bringing one of them on board as the new deputy governor demonstrates the governor's great respect for the youth in the state and their capacity to accomplish tasks," said Onaivi.

"In addition to the youth perspective, the new deputy governor will bring his political base as an Obidient. This signifies a union between the People’s Democratic Party and the Obidients, marking a new era of political alignment in Edo. He contested as the Labour Party candidate for Akoko Edo Federal Constituency, and this bodes well for the state's growth and development."

"Furthermore, with the selection of Omobayo, Edo North as a geopolitical zone has not been neglected in the grand scheme of things. The former deputy governor hails from Edo North, and the new deputy governor is also from the same senatorial district. While the local governments may differ, the crucial point is that the senatorial district still maintains the position of the deputy governor," he added.

Another stakeholder, Stanley Emone, echoed Onaivi's sentiments, stating that Governor Obaseki made the right decision. He advised the new deputy governor not to allow the power of his new office to corrupt him.

"Engr. Omobayo Godwins, the new deputy governor, should learn from the mistakes of his predecessor. He must not let the powers of the office intoxicate him," Emone advised.

Omobayo is an engineer with a notable track record of progressive professional experience in the oil and gas sector. Born on July 19, 1986, he hails from Akoko Edo Local Government Area of the State.

He holds a B.Eng Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and an M.Sc in Public Administration from the University of Benin (UNIBEN). His professional expertise and background in public administration make him well-suited for the role.

Omobayo is a registered member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). He has also been actively involved in politics in his local government. He is well known in his locality as a trusted politician who mobilizes young and old people for common causes, even breaking political barriers to the dismay of his opponents.

Coren certified!!!! Na people i fit relate with not all these agbado miscreants With no level

PDLP

Hahaha. Very funny

Good of you Mr Governor

Politics is taking a different dimension gradually

Non of my business.

If PDP & LP can come together and present Peter Obi for the next presidential election, it would bode well as a viable opposition to the APC.

I honestly don't expect PDP to recycle Atiku again in 2027.

Ok

CORNfused 🌽 statement





Akpata is waiting for you guys

.

What else do you expect them to say?

Governance in Nigeria is about the interest of the ruling class and not the populace

A strategic blunder.obaseki miscalculation keeps making it easy for APC to capture Edo state.

PDLP - Peoples Democratic Labour Party sounds better than PDAPC led by Wike

helinues:
PDLP

Hahaha. Very funny

Confusion every where with PDLP

Strategic blunder.

MOU governor and his godson Asue Ighodalo will be thorough beaten. Monday Okpebholo is Edo's choice.

Which one be pdlp again?

Obaseki may even fight him before his expiration time.

Obaseki don't know how to manage relationship. There are people like that.

Olumide, Peter Obi's endorsement, in the mud.

Let all politicians and political parties join together TINUBU 8 years is sure die … only God can change it

DMerciful:
Why are you obsessed with Obi?

Why are you obsessed with Tinubu?

so PDP support this ?
appointing a LP person as deputy governor ?

Because he is mismanaging our commonwealth. Obi is a private citizen

Slytiger:

Why are you obsessed with Tinubu?

No.

This is what Obaseki thinks. The new deputy is a political zero-weight who scored no vote in his LP contest in 2019 for the state house of assembly.

Obaseki had the chance to placate the PDP legacy group of Dan Orbih and the Anslem Ojezua group, but he still made the show about him. Outside power, Obaseki has no clout to influence anything.

I am quite pained that Obaseki has gotten away with a lot of illegalities. Especially in preventing legitimately elected representatives from being sworn in. That is enough to get Obaseki to jail.

I am just hoping Obaseki wouldn't use his dictatorial tendencies to ruin Asue Ighodalo's chances.

How do you pull such an immature stunt in an election year?
