Edo: I Will Not Support What’s Not Fair, Just – Obaseki On Deputy’s Ambition by Thonyb(op): 4:05pm On Dec 05, 2023
Governor Godwin Obaseki has vowed not to support what is not fair and just, following the declaration of interest in the gubernatorial election by the Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.

Obaseki spoke in an interview with BBC Pidgin, on him supporting Shaibu to become his successor in 2024.

The governor reiterated his earlier assertion that the people of the state would determine Shaibu’s fate.

According to Obaseki; “E declare for himself now, no be me go decide whether my deputy, na Edo people go sit down and decide. Dem go say, this deputy, e get wetin e take to run the state?

“Let’s look at his background, antecedents if he has maybe and if he doesn’t have and in any case, the Edo people would decide how we would do the governorship whether it would be turn by turn or it will be based on equity, fairness and justice. To say okay, this people have done before.

“As a leader, I will sit down and supervise. What is not fair, just and will help Edo unite, my hands are not there.”


Commenting on godfatherism in politics, Obaseki said: “Everybody needs nurturing and mentoring but not to the extent of teleguiding you. He can support and help you to make your decisions but ultimately at the end of the day it is for democracy – the people must decide who will lead them.”

Hehehe.

Philip should sheath his sword.

For justice, equity and fairness,the governorship position should go to Edo central.

I know zoning is not in the constitution,but trust be it do more good than harm. It gives everyone a sense of belonging,and peace in the state.

It also brings less tension and thuggery during elections.

If Shaibu succeeds Governor Obaseki he will be the first deputy governor in about 10 years to do so undecided

Two failures !

Obaseki Is far worse than Lucky Igbinedion as a state governor.

Unfortunately, nothing can anyone point to as an achievement or legacy of Obaseki in that poor state.

Edo people will definitely revolt on whoever he presents!

His failures are open for all to see.

Philip is just being insanely over ambitious. Edo North has served in the person of Oshiomole, the current governor is from Edo South. The only just thing to do right now is to handover to someone from Edo Central. I don't like inconsiderate people, I am from Edo North as Philip but it's not our turn to be governor again.

Obaseki wants to impose a candidate who will cover his back and remit returns as well. Tinubu showed them how it is done, and it is now the default modus operandi.

He knows his deputy has grown beyond his control and will stab him right in the back on assumption of office.
