Godwin Obaseki, the outgoing Governor of Edo State, says there will be a problem if the incoming government of Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, prioritizes politics over security, noting that the citizens will demand a secure environment.
reports that Obaseki , who spoke at the last State Security Council Meeting with heads of security agencies in the state, boasted that his government is leaving the security of the State much better than he met it in 2016. He, however, advised the incoming government against prioritizing politics over security.
reports that Obaseki was first elected governor of the state in 2016 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and was reelected in 2020 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He would be completing his eight years as governor on November 12, 2024, when he would be handing over to Okpebholo. Obaseki said, 'I am leaving Edo much better, security-wise, than when I met it.
