The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has kicked off his campaign for the 2020 Edo election, as he hopes to win a second term in office.
Obaseki kicked off the campaign on Monday, August 3, in Akoko Edo local government area of the state in Edo north senatorial district.
The senatorial district is considered the backyard of the former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.
Speaking to the large crowd of party supporters who welcomed him to the area, Governor Obaseki promised to build on the good foundation his administration has laid in the last three years and eight months.
Governor Obaseki revealed that his government already has an economic blueprint that will address the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Receiving the governor in his palace, the Otaru of Igarra, Oba Emmanuel Adeche Saiki II, prayed that God will guide the governor and bless his plans for the state.
“We pray that God will guide you in all your ways. You should not be discouraged in advising the youths against violence and political thuggery, because the era of violence and thuggery is gone,” the Otaru said.
Reacting, Obaseki said that with the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, the people need a leader with focus and one that is genuinely concerned about the well-being of the people of the state.
