Obaseki must have come from a humble beginning, hence the empathy.

Adeu David

I rate him 1st Class......

Pig farming?
Buhari's islamic APC government will not like that.

I am a Muslim, and I see no problem with that. Its a case of one man's meat..., and the other man has to look the other way.

Kudos to Obaseki. I see a lot of job opportunities to spring up from that.

Keeping the youths positively engaged is a welcome development.

Weldon!

Does this Obaseki ever rest? I wonder where he gets the energy from.

BidBam:
I wonder how some people can feel comfortable in seeing their state derail. This Edo PDP, are they not Edo people? Their peoples' interest should top their personal aspirations and desires.

#Peoples Interest First!

Mr. Osagie, you guys are doing a great job. We feel it from where we are.

As you propagate your state in good light, do continue to expose those bad guys that wish to derail the good works of Governor Obaseki so that they can be put to real shame.

May God remain with your state.

The problem is this National Grid of a thing. I wish the power can just be for the state that invested to generate it.

Weldon Governor Obaseki

You are on point, and I think it should be looked into. No more 'sitdown look'; it kills us

BidBam:
If all governors can just copy and implement 'only but one' people oriented programme from Governor Obaseki, Nigeria will leap forward.

Other state governors should wake up and see....

This man... the way he is moving, he will make the presidency.

This governor sure has speed! Just one year in office... Lets see how it goes.

Without doubt, this must be the best governor in Nigeria presently. Congratulations Sir!

BidBam:
You are right Mary. If only some people will forget partisan politics and practice politics of integration, the people will be better for it.

True talk!

mysteriousman:
Hope they have good plans on how to maintain them, that has always been our problem in this part of the world

I like your remark. Being who I hear he is in the management field, I am not in any doubt that Obaseki already has that in place.

The Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) dealt a big blow to the camp of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state on Friday, with the decamping of major PDP heavyweights, including Member representing Egor/Ikpoba Okha Federal Constituency, Honourable Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma and former gubernatorial aspirant of the PDP, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen.

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki led the party leadership to receive Hon. Agbonayinma and Hon. Iduoriyekemwen and their followers at its Mega Rally, which hosted party chieftains and members across the state, at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

Governor Obaseki, who welcomed the new members of the party, said that they have further swelled the ranks of the party to become an indomitable force in the state, adding that they would enjoy all due benefits as party members.

-Obaseki Assures of More Developments, Gives Credit to Oshiomhole.
Further in his speech, Gov. Obaseki maintained that the infrastructural development being witnessed in the state is linked to the solid foundation laid by his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

According to him, “Edo is working today, because Oshiomhole laid the foundation. Edo people have not seen anything yet. We will continue to demonstrate efforts in sustaining good governance. I am making effort to attract investors to the state as this administration is committed to building the biggest industrial park in Nigeria on our promise to facilitate job opportunities and engage 200, 000 youths, and we will achieve that before the year 2020.”

The governor assured that a modular refinery will be built in the state as part of the outcome for his recent visit to China, promising to replicate development in every local government in the state.

-Oshiomhole Urges Edo APC To Clinch Delta
On his part, Oshiomhole said that the action of the defectors to Edo APC reinforces the total clearing and cleansing of the opposition in the state, who, according to him, balkanized the state almost beyond repair.

He stressed that the APC is running on the principle of social democracy, making a case for the state chapter of the party to reclaim Delta State from the PDP, to extend the developmental strides to their brothers and sisters with whom they formed the old Bendel State.

He said, “Our aim in APC is to transfer power to the people as we have successfully taken power from the few who claimed to be godfathers and impoverished the masses.

On his charge for the state APC to advance into Delta State, he said, “Together, we will sweep whatever is left out of Edo State and Delta. Comrades, we have secured Edo State, now we must advance to Delta. In the spirit of Bendel, which was governed by the late Samuel Ogbemudia, we must carry more brooms to Asaba and sweep all the way to Warri and install an APC governor in Asaba, so that the resources of Asaba can be used for the benefit of Deltans.”

I can see that through Obaseki's performance so far, his people in the opposition PDP are being impressed to the point of decamping.

Kudos to the two incoming Honorable men. Edo will benefit from your input, surely.
