The Governor of Edo and Governor-elect, Godwin Obaseki, on Monday, praised the people of Edo for ensuring his victory at the recently concluded governorship election in the state.
He added that his reelection has brought an end to the institution of godfatherism and ensured that “the lions and tigers” were permanently put in the cage.
Obaseki said this while speaking to party supporters at the Museum Ground, Kings Square in Benin City after he had a victory roadshow across streets in the metropolis.
The governor said, “The message of Saturday’s governorship election for this government is to go and work for Edo people. It is clear and Edo people have spoken that we should work for them and transform the state.
“You have helped me cage the lions and tigers in the state. You will never see them again in Edo State because they are all in the zoo now where they belong. Today, I promise you that we will work for Edo people because no one will hinder us from delivering the dividends of democracy to Edo people.
“I will collaborate with my brother and deputy governor, Philip Shaibu to work for Edo people. I thank everyone residing in Edo State; you have spoken and we have heard you and are ready to work for you.”
