Edo State’s current governor, Godwin Obaseki, has promised a free and fair election for his successor.
Obaseki has stated that he will not be endorsing a candidate for governor in the 2024 race.
As the Governor told reporters in Benin on Friday, “it is not in my place to now determine, appoint or anoint any successor,” but he did say, “all I know is that in the process of seeking my successor, there must be fairness, equity, and a sense of inclusion because our goal is to keep Edo as one.”
Obaseki added that the current administration’s goal was to have a successful conclusion.
Before the gubernatorial election, he promised, his administration will wrap up any outstanding tasks.
That’s the one potential hurdle I can see, but it shouldn’t be an obstacle for us to overcome.
“The important thing for us as an administration is for us to finish strong and try to complete everything we told the Edo people we would do for them during our campaign,” he added.
