The End of Godfatherism Has Come in Nigeria by Atiku Abubakar.

There is a new dawn in Edo State, and the hard-won victory of Governor Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki is not just a victory, but a Declaration of Independence from the anti-democratic forces of godfatherism and militarism. No victory could be sweeter than this, and I heartily congratulate the Governor and the good people of Edo state for their resilience in the face of the forces arrayed against them.

Edo has a rich history as the centre of Black civilisation, and to this, she is adding a new record as the bastion of Nigerian democracy. This double whammy of ancient and modern glories is a testament to a people who have for centuries set the pace as a beacon of light on the African continent.

I most heartily congratulate the Peoples Democratic Party, who stood shoulder to shoulder, with the people of Edo and their Government, in good times and bad. We in the PDP have shown that we are not fair-weather friends to the good people of Edo. In good times, we will walk beside you. In bad times, we will be your loyal ‘comrade’. We will never be a turncoat. We will never abandon the principles we once espoused so that we can dine with our nemesis. Democracy has no nemesis. And this, the PDP has again proved.

I look forward to the continuation of four more years of tangible development, and people centered leadership from Governor Obaseki. I also seize this opportunity to thank His Royal Highness, the Oba of Benin, Omo N’oba N’Edo Uku Akpolopkolo, Ewuare II, for the fatherly role he played as a neutral catalyst for peace. That this election was, by and large, free from violence, is a testament of the long and effective shadow he casts over his domain.

From personal experience, I know Governor Obaseki to be a magnanimous man, and I urge Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu to accept the right hand of fellowship that is likely to be extended to him. The leprous hand he is now holding can only lead to a destination of barrenness. He is amongst strange bedfellows, and I remind him that no matter how far one has gone on a wrong road, it is never too late to turn back and head in the right direction. The PDP is the right direction.

And to the good people of Ondo state, my message to you is that freedom from the oppressive grasp of godfathers and external forces that seek to dominate your will and eviscerate your treasury, is possible. Edo has done it. You can do it too!

There is a new wind of democratic change now blowing all over Nigeria. The forces of despotism, nepotism, and interlopers cannot successfully withstand this force. Nigeria shall soon be totally free from these forces, from Kaura Namoda, to Lagos. The only power that will stand in Nigeria is people power, not the power of godfathers, or despots.

May God bless the good people of Edo State and may God bless Nigeria. EdoDecides2020

Obaseki’s electoral victory ends Godfatherism in Edo state- Governor Wike.

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Campaign Council for Edo Election, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike says the electoral victory of Governor Godwin Obaseki has ended godfatherism in Edo State.

Governor Wike made the assertion at a press conference in Benin City shortly after the declaration of Governor Obaseki as the winner of Edo Governorship Election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Governor Wike acknowledged that Edo people spoke vehemently with their votes by re-electing Governor Obaseki.

He noted that with the outcome of the election, Edo people would no longer put their fate in the hands of one man.

” If for nothing, we have made the point that there is nothing called godfatherism again in Edo state politics.

” I thank Governor Obaseki for volunteering to be used to fight for the interest of Edo State,” he said.

The Governor thanked members of the PDP National Campaign Council and those who also served in the Edo Campaign Committee for the sacrifices made.

He said the two groups synergised to achieve the electoral victory for the Party.

“I want to particularly thank my colleagues, the Governors of Delta State, Oyo State and all other persons who served in the National Campaign Council. We succeeded working as a team.

“Let me also thank the Governor of Edo State. He gave us the necessary support that has led to this victory.

“Also, we thank all those who worked in the campaign train in Edo State. We also appreciate the Media for the positive coverage of the election,” he stated.

The re-elected Governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki said the collective will of Edo people made the electoral victory possible.

“Edo people have spoken and they have spoken loud and clear. We thank God Almighty and give Him all the glory for this victory.

“The collective will of Edo people made it possible for us to triumph over godfatherism.

“Our success has reinforced my belief that there is nothing we cannot achieve as a people. This is because we pulled forces together and collectively called on God for support.

Governor Obaseki thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for ensuring that INEC and the Security Agencies performed their functions.

On behalf of his Deputy, Governor Governor Obaseki reiterated his commitment to make Edo State great again.

Bukola Saraki speaks on the on-going Edo State election.

The on-going EdoDecides2020 is getting to the crucial stages. I urge the good people of Edo State not to get carried away but to protect their votes.

The enthusiasm and patriotic conduct of the good people of Edo State must not be thwarted or subverted by any official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), either permanent or ad-hoc; or any security personnel, no matter the rank.

Nigeria’s glory is more important than the huge ego of politicians. And so INEC and security agencies must work to protect Nigeria’s image and not to satisfy the whims and caprices of some power hungry politicians.
