Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has revealed that Friday’s Supreme Court victory means freedom and emancipation to him and the people of his State.
Obaseki also said that the victory means the Edo people have finally defeated the issue of ‘godfather’ in the State.
The governor said this while addressing a large gathering in Benin City, the state capital, on Tuesday as part of the celebration to mark Friday’s Supreme Court victory.
According to him, democracy is not about the godfather but all about the people.
