Obaseki Embarks On Post-tenure Medical Vacation by adenigga(op): 12:49am On Nov 14, 2024
The immediate past governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has proceeded on vacation to rest and undergo a medical check-up.

The move is coming following the completion of his second tenure as the Edo governor on November 11, 2024.

This was disclosed in a statement by his Media Adviser, Crusoe Osagie, on Wednesday.

Osagie said, “Following the completion of his second term, a former governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has proceeded on vacation to rest and undergo a medical check-up.

“Obaseki, once again, expressed his appreciation to God Almighty, the people of Edo State and Nigeria, for the opportunity to serve.

“He urged all Edo people both at home and in the Diaspora to continue to be hopeful and pray for the peace, progress, and prosperity of our state and Nigeria.”

Before handing over the state administration to the new governor, Monday Okpebholo, Obaseki granted pardon to 10 inmates with less than one year to serve their terms in correctional centres in the state.

On November 8, 2024, Obaseki said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is planning to arrest him after the end of his tenure.

Speaking at the EdoBEST National Results-Sharing Session in Abuja, Obaseki revealed he received information about the EFCC’s plan to arrest and detain him over alleged fraud.

He, however, asserted that he is not afraid of any arrest or investigation into his administration, attributing the petitions filed against him to individuals acting out of vendetta.

Obaseki mentioned that he would spend his time in EFCC custody conducting research, stressing that he has nothing to hide.

“I hear that the EFCC will pick me up next week after my tenure. Wherever they keep me, I’ll spend time doing research.

“There are many things we have done that can be described as legacy projects. I believe in Edo State. One of the enduring achievements is our focus on the Edo people and issues that matter to them, implementing necessary reforms.

“Why should I be afraid? I just focused on what I believe in, and today, you can see what has been accomplished. What happens after that is beyond my control. They can continue with their political witch-hunt and do all they can to harm me. That’s their problem.

“I’m not afraid; I’m not worried. They’ve written all sorts of unfounded petitions against me, and that’s part of the challenge. In fact, I can even turn myself in if they call me – I have nothing to hide,” Obaseki stated.

The media propaganda and information manipulations have started to curry public sympathy, and both the paid e-worriors and brain washed folks will now jump into this dance of shame to defend this wicked, corrupt, insensitive, demonic and poverty development politicians who after their tyrannical rule have resorted to playing the victim.
EFCC MY FOOT.

I like the democratic ideals that the Tinubu regime has been upholding.

The federal government will not be used to settle political scores in any state, be it Rivers, Edo, or Kano.

1 billion naira is enough to live a good life in Nigeria and it can last a lifetime, why embezzling almost everything and leaving the people in poverty. If your hands are clean, then why are you running.

Obaseki my guy!honestly I don’t blame him. If it were to be me too,I will do the same. People don’t understand what it means to have a personal grudge with the president of an African country! If you are caught,it will be the darkest period of your life! Cbn governor,Kanu,former kogi state governor.. which office holder in Nigeria expended half of the money given to them for the development of their people?? Apart from our pandoro obidenses that want us to believe their agulu joker is different !

For 8years Buhari was travelling abroad for medicals and "rest", you didn't ask him that.
Tinubu is doing the same, you didn't ask.
Can't you see you're just a hypocrite? [quote author= post=132866931]No place at all to rest in the state he governed for years or anywhere all over our darling nation?

He did well for infrastructures in Edo and major reforms but for roads he did poorly. God bless you sir.

Akpakomiza is about to construct my road oooooooooooooo. Oba Erediauwa road at Uteh, repair the bad spots at Aduwawa leading to Benin -Auchi road. Construct Tenboga Ekiuwa road to Uniben, so when going to Ugbowo, no more passing through town.
