The Edo State Government has reacted to pictures of Godwin Obaseki sleeping while President Muhammadu Buhari was delivering his speech at the United Nation’s conference in New York.
A statement signed by Crusoe Osagie, the special adviser to the governor on media and communication strategy, said Mr Obaseki can also experience fatigue and exhaustion, an indisputable fact of life, to which all humans are susceptible.
“Our attention has been drawn to a mischievous campaign designed to smear the image of the Edo State Governor, Mr. Governor Obaseki.
“The disparagers have populated the internet with photographs of the governor when he momentarily succumbed to fatigue after a long flight, preceded by a chaotic itinerary in Edo State before heading to New York for the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly, in the United States of America.
“The idle hands and mischievous minds behind the smear campaign against governor Obaseki are clearly not people to be taken seriously.”
Mr Osagie said the internet is awash with photographs of outstanding world leaders who have at one time or the other yielded to fatigue at meetings.
Highlighting his work schedule prior to the trip, Mr Osagie said despite Mr Obaseki’s rare work culture, unmatched by his peers, “we have never portrayed him as a machine.”

Frank Lampard is looking forward to facing "hugely influential" former boss Jose Mourinho for the first time as a manager when his Derby side travel to Manchester United in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday.

Mourinho managed Lampard during two spells at Chelsea, winning two Premier Leagues and an FA Cup together.

"It will be nice to see him and go up against one of his teams," said ex-midfielder Lampard.


"We have to give everything."

Lampard signed for Chelsea in 2001 and spent 13 years at the club, while Portuguese Mourinho was in charge at Stamford Bridge between 2004 and 2007, and then again between 2013 and 2015.

The 40-year-old former England international took his first managerial role at Derby in the summer. His side are sixth in the Championship going into Tuesday's 20:00 BST kick-off at United, who are seventh in the Premier League.

"[Mourinho] is a manager who was hugely influential on my career twice - but particularly the first time around," added Lampard.

"I respect him completely for that. You will find Jose Mourinho's players being managers all over the place because he has been so successful in his career.

"They're expected to win, quite rightly so with the squad they've amassed there. It's a challenge for us and we want to go there and do as well as we can." added.
