Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said he can’t hand over to an unintelligent person.
Obaseki said this during the Peoples Democratic Party’s campaign in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area of the State to canvass votes for the party’s candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, in the September 21 election.
According to him, the PDP has the best candidate in the election, urging the people to vote for credibility and competence.
Obaseki said his government has pursued reforms in education, agriculture, sports, technology, and health, among others,
“These gains and successes would be derailed if left in the hands of an unintelligent, inexperience or an incompetent person whose only aim in power is to share the common patrimony of the people among the political class”.
“We have reformed the education sector through the EdoBEST programme and ensured your daughter headed the State’s Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB). We can’t hand over EdoBEST to unintelligent people.”
On his part, Ighodalo charged the electoral umpire on free, fair, and credible polls in the State.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said he will support free, fair and credible elections as he is a democrat that believes in the credible process,” he said.
