Electorates defy rain to receive Obaseki in Edo campaign

Godwin Obaseki, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate ahead of the September 19, 2020 election in the state, lauded the electorate for their support and commitment shown to him and his campaign team.

He expressed his gratitude to his followers and supporters for waiting even when it’s raining, to have a meeting with him.

"I don’t want to keep you too long in the rain. I am really impressed to see this large gathering.

“You can now see the importance of umbrella. Even in the rain, you still waited to see and hear from me.

“This is the first campaign we are witnessing downpour, it also shows the uniqueness of this Ward. Anything you ask me to do is what I will do, I will tar the road from Avbiosi to Uzeba,” Obaseki said.

The governor, however, donated N1 million to Avbiosi Football Club.

Speaking at the campaign ground, a PDP woman leader, Mrs Elizabeth Oje, thanked the governor for helping develop their community.

“Why are we not going to welcome our governor; he has done well for us and we have to show him love, the rain is even a sign of blessing,” she said.

The governor was accompanied by his deputy, Philip Shaibu, the state Chairman, Edo PDP Campaign Council Dan Orbih, former Chief of Staff to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mike Ogiadomhe and other party dignitaries.
