Mr. Benjamin Atu, Senior Special Assistant on media to Edo State Deputy Governor, on Monday affirmed enthusiasm in the victory of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki in the September 19 governorship election.
‘’Governor Godwin Obaseki embodies what is special about Edo State. He is the candidate Edo people can trust to move the state forward’’
He disclosed this at a gathering of Edo people in Abuja.
Atu gave emphasis to Obaseki’s political experience, dynamic leadership and quality of thought.
The deputy Governor’s media aide explained that Obaseki would attract foreign investments into the state, circulate the dividends of democracy to all the nooks and crannies of Edo State and generate employment for the people.
‘Edo State will continue to experience economic development and good governance’’ he said.
The media boss also defined Obaseki as a pragmatist, good leader, competent administrator and an asset to Edo State.
He also bragged that the PDP candidate would defeat APC governorship candidate, Pastor Ize-Iyamu.
The penman also took a shot at the Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, mocking the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He interpreted Ganduje’s action as a clever ploy to whip up mundane sentiments to cover his dismal performance in Kano State.
‘’The people of Edo State have a choice in this governorship race. They have a choice of who they will elect to govern them and I believe there is no substitute for integrity and principle’’ Atu said.
Atu asserted that Obaseki’s humble disposition, simplicity and human disposition towards the people endeared him to the masses.
‘’Obaseki’s commitment to principle in the practice of politics, the rule of law and the best democratic tradition of fairness were some of the attributes that brought him into collision with his traducers”.
‘’Godwin Obaseki’s capacity is beyond question. We need character in Governmet House’’ he said.
He therefore advised voters to concentrate on the track record of the PDP governorship candidate, Governor Godwin Obaseki.
