Godwin contested as Labour Party candidate for the Federal House of Representatives seat of Akoko-Edo Federal Constituency during the 2023 elections

Over the past few weeks, the Edo State House of Assembly carried out its constitutional role by providing checks and balances in our democracy, and today, they impeached the former deputy governor.

At no point in this journey did I envisage that I would be having to work with two deputies before the end of my 8-yr run in office. As there cannot be a vacuum in govt, we have, by consensus, selected Omobayo Godwins to take over the baton as the new Dep. Gov. of Edo State.

At 38 yrs old, my new deputy, Omobayo, is a symbol of our undying belief in the power of our youth to transform our dear State, bringing vigour and renewed energy to the drive to place young people at the centre of our politics and developmental agenda.

Omobayo is a man for this season. Together, we will be working in these last few months of my administration as we make progress on our promise to finish strong for the benefit of our dear people.

Okay

I feel for shaibu sha. Hope this won't be the end of his political career

Shaibu destroyed himself by following useless Wike. When you are not stupid, Edo Northave had 8 years, Edo South have also had 16 years while Edo Central is way behind. Yet you are still trying to coerce PDP to field you from Edo North, when the opposition has zoned their ticket to Edo Central. When your party refused, you joined Wike to destabilize your party.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Edo no be Lagos
There's no godfather in Edo
Blah blah blah

Well, it's breakfast well served to Shuaib.
Reaped what he sowed.
That's the end of his vibrant political career.
