on his parting of ways with Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki and why the All Progressives Congress will reclaim the state at the September 19 poll.
First, I consider myself an elder statesman of this country, I also consider myself a relevant stakeholder in my state. When it came to the time to support financially, he came to me in Abuja with the same Rasaq and I did my little bit to support him and thank God it is the same candidate today that is also his opponent again.He was elected as the governor in 2016 and I was very elated and as we continued, the political class that elected him were all coming to me, including Rasaq Bello-Osagie that brought him to me.
That was why when I was going to China to meet some investors, I mentioned it to him and he was willing to come, I was excited that he was willing to come, I bought his ticket and that of his aides. Then, I got a phone call from Godwin he said, I learnt the President was coming to your farm, he will come but he was not going to come out of the car
You can’t continue selling propaganda because when you tell lies continuously, it becomes truth in some peoples’ ear.A situation where you have 600 children packed in a room selling propaganda on social media of projects that are not there. It is appalling I am completely in touch with my environment back home. I know that is where I am from and whatever I can do to relate with my people, I always do.
He found himself in politics which was not his turf, it was not his forte and he would have sought for God’s wisdom to be able to manage the position he had found himself. I went once, the second time I said, go my brother, your position today is Governor and Comrade is Chairman of APC, I don’t think there is anything both of you will sit in front of the President and ask for our state that we would not get.
Now, let’s talk about myself, there was a particular Sunday that Thisday published a story on its front page and I know that newspaper front pages are very serious. As I was leaving, thank God, Godwin was coming in, we were outside, he pointed at me and embarrassed me in front of everyone shouting “incoming governor”, I held him that is the photograph you guys see of both of us and cuddled him and I said are you one of them?
