Obaseki has earned the confidence Edo people by resisting ‘godfatherism’ – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says he believes his Edo counterpart, Godwin Obaseki has earned the confidence of the people by resisting what he called ‘godfatherism’ in the state.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, the governor noted, “The mere fact that Obaseki resisted this godfatherism should be the one reason Edo people should vote for him. There are so many things about this election; it has nothing to do with Obaseki like I said,” Governor Wike said on Tuesday in Port Harcourt.

“First of all, Edo people, will you continue to allow godfatherism? Is it not an opportunity to end this godfatherism?

“You wake up in the morning and you tell Edo people something, in the night you call the same Edo people and say ‘what I said in the morning, I didn’t mean it’; how do we now know the one that you meant?”
