COMRADES, Obaseki is my guy for liberating Edo State from the shackles of godfatherism. Remains Lagos State

Approval is different from release of funds. We will thank him later when the targeted beneficiaries get alets to that effect. Politicians are very dangerous especially during election time. They normally make promises just for people to be happy.

I left..!

God bless you my governor,Edo no be lagos and if you no like am,please die

Election year.

Trust me, they will get their credit alerts.

You've done so well Mr Governor
