Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State.

It was a harvest of endorsements in Benin City, the Edo State Capital as men, women and youths drawn from the various wards in Oredo Local Government Area converged under the auspices of the Insured Good People (IGP), to endorse the second term bid of the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.

Speaking at the weekend during an end-of-year rally for the governor, the elated residents, among other notable developmental achievements by the Godwin Obaseki–led administration in their locality, identified the numerous road projects and reforms, which have positively affected the people, as reason for their support.

A spokesperson for the women, Mrs. Osarugue Pat, said unlike some of his predecessors, Governor Obaseki has remained a voice of the voiceless women in Edo State, constructing and rehabilitating dilapidated roads in the state, while ensuring that all pensioners are promptly paid their arrears.

“Governor Obaseki is a working governor and Edo State women have chosen to support him because he listens to us; he is constructing and has constructed several roads; and has also ensured all our pensioners are paid their arrears as and when due. In Nigeria currently, our children enjoy the best education at both primary and secondary levels, tutored by well-trained teachers in a conducive and digitalised environment.

“Obaseki hates assault; abuse and molestation of all sorts against women. Edo State women have never regretted voting for him in the first tenure and would as well vote for him again because he deserves it.

His second term aspiration is an opportunity for us to enjoy the consolidation of what the governor is already doing across the state”, she added.

The coordinator of the group, Mr. Edefe Osagie, said the group has been searching for an advocate for good governance, noting that Governor Obaseki’s administration has brought a stop to their search with his impressive service in the seat of power ranging from the preponderance of infrastructural projects and human capacity development initiatives.

“In Edo State, we are privileged to have a government run by Governor Godwin Obaseki, who has made our state a standard-bearer in a number of development initiatives. The state government has shown uncommon zeal in pursuing an industrialisation roadmap that is transforming the state into an investment haven for big-industry players.

We are proud of the meaningful projects executed by this administration and are confident of even more people-oriented projects in his second term.

“We will support Obaseki in 2020 because he is a wake-and-see governor. We will ensure he completes his 8-year term as Edo State governor because he has been assisting us fight abuse, molestation and assault in Edo State”.

Earlier, legal adviser to the group, Barr. Ewah Gregory said, “Endorsements for Governor Obaseki as you can see today, is being spearheaded by ordinary men and women who have been positively impacted by his governance. That’s a sign to show that the governor’s acceptance cuts across various strata of the society.”

Chad abolishes death penalty for terrorist acts

Boko Haram terrorists Chad on Tuesday abolished the death penalty for terrorist acts, quashing an exception that was on the books for four years, Justice Minister Djimet Arabi told AFP. The Sahel country passed legislation in 2016 to abolish capital punishment, but made an exception for perpetrators of terrorism. Arabi, who proposed the amendment, said the vote was unanimous and the law would come into force once it is approved by President Idriss Deby Itno, whose party enjoys a huge majority in parliament. The change is “aimed at harmonising our laws in line with all the countries of the G5 Sahel Group,” the minister said. Chad’s military is a key part of the 5,000-strong G5 force alongside Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali and Mauritania that cooperates with French troops to combat a growing Islamist insurgency.

Edo Election: ‘Character, Performance favour Obaseki’

Governor Godwin Obaseki By Isiramen Enobun In seasons of intense politics, truth is always the first casualty. So it is in Edo State at the moment, elections are holding on September 19, 2020, and the people are trying to understand the true meaning of reverse thinking, of the difference between the two major candidates, Godwin Obaseki of PDP, who is the incumbent governor, and Ize Iyamu, who is running on the platform of APC, and how Adams Oshiomole has appropriated the story to become the common factor in a context that should otherwise be very exciting. As it is the beauty of democracy is unfolding in the state. Politicians are crisscrossing the land advertising their wares and capacity, but so also is the nastiness of politics. Some deviants in their midst are threatening fire and brimstone, and the tigers and lions which were once restricted to the Ogba Zoo in Benin City may be released on that particular day.

Buhari’s COVID-19 package (2)

President Muhammadu Buhari HAVING heard from President Muhammadu Buhari the measures the Federal Government is taking in partnership with states and patriotic individuals to contain the Coronavirus pandemic, there are further measures we want to see in the comings days. We must all bear in mind that though the Federal Government and President Buhari must provide the leadership in mobilising (as it has done) the enormous institutional and financial resources at its disposal, the main hands-on fight is at the state, local government, community, family and individual levels. We must all be involved and do our part. Awareness must continue to be drummed up through all available means. The big danger is that the vast majority of Nigerians are not fully aware that Nigeria is a potential disaster zone. Some foreign countries, such as Israel, appear to have taken proactive steps to escape a putative explosion of infections in Nigeria by evacuating their citizens. The numbers appear very...
