Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has said as long as he remains governor the state will not be used as a mere pawn in a political game.
Obaseki said he would no longer allow a certain individual to continue to lord over the state, making all federal appointments and cancelling the elections he had conducted.

In a video sighted by MandyNews.com, Obaseki can be seen talking to a group led by Dickson Omoregie that individuals who were unhappy with his administration’s refusal to share state resources were behind the political crisis in the state.

Obaseki  said it was  embarrassing that  he was being  ridiculed when “at the centre, we have one of our own person who is supposed to superintend this”.

In what appeared to be a veiled reference to the party’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, he said, “So, if your children are fighting and you cannot come and settle them then what authority do you have to even be a father?”

He argued that even if he was the worst governor of Edo State, it remained  a fact that he was  the only APC governor in  the South-South.

Obaseki said were it not for his patience as governor, the state would have gone the way of Zamfara State where the party lost every elective position during the last elections.

He said, “How can I as governor  conduct elections and someone will come and cancel them  and be  manipulating and throwing  all sorts of people in there and now wants to use the people to fight me and remove me from office,  and you want me to keep quiet?

“So, I have said it that at the end of the day,  I only have one mandate to serve Edo people and as long as God has given me this opportunity,  I will not allow Edo State to be a pawn  in anybody’s political chess game.”

So na e make u wan kill dat of those wey get.

I am really disappointed in Adam Oshiomele on Edo issue. I have noticed bad trends among former governors, they will disrespect their predecessor but want to control their successor. But to mr. Obaseki, those who support illegal inauguration of Edo house of assembly are your enemies. There's a better way to approach the issue than to result to total illegality. If nine members can elect speaker then nine can also impeach speaker and governor.

From ambode to obaseki, this humiliating of young leaders by the greedy elders must stop.
