The All Progressives Congress
governorship candidate in Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has declared
that he will not be a puppet to any godfather if elected governor of Edo
State in the Saturday’s election.
Obaseki made the declaration during an interview monitored on Television Continental on Wednesday.
“I will not be a puppet to any godfather or godmother if I become governor of Edo State,” Obaseki said.
The APC candidate said if he needed to
be a puppet to anybody, he would rather be a puppet to the good people
of Edo State, whose general mandate he was seeking to become their
governor.
Obaseki described Governor Adams
Oshiomhole as a true democrat who, according to him, does not even like
to be seen as a godfather, let alone expect someone to be his puppet.
He commended the achievements of the
Adams Oshiomhole administration and promised to continue work on the
good template already set by the governor so that he could move the
state to greater heights.
Obaseki said he was also set to make a
positive difference in governance, if elected, and promised to deliver
more dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
Commenting on how his government would
generate at least 200,000 jobs for youths within his first four years in
office, Obaseki said he hoped to achieve this through agricultural
reforms and by also creating the necessary enabling environment for
investors to come and do business in Edo State.
