Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, on Friday, led members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress in the state, to a thanksgiving service to acknowledge the role of God in the violence-free event and celebrate the triumph of the APC at the polls.
“This victory throws up a lot more responsibility as the victory in the election shows the people trust our administration and we can’t afford to fail them. He noted that there was a lot to thank God for, as all the elections held in the state since he became governor have been violence-free, with no life lost.
“Cultism is my next priority and we have a law on cultism in place which we will use to punish offenders. With the assistance of the Edo State Commissioner of Police, we will set up a special squad on cultism, to deal with offenders and render it history in the state,” he said. In his sermon, the Arch. Bishop of Bendel Province Anglican Communion, Friday Imeakhai, commended the governor for relying on God and making it mandatory to always give thanks to God.
