EDO: Obaseki Dissolves Cabinet

Ahead  of  his inauguration for a second term in office, Governor  Godwin Obaseki of  Edo  state  has dissolved the state executive council.

Announcing the dissolution on Wednesday at a valedictory executive council session at the Government House in Benin City, Governor Obaseki expressed appreciation to the outgoing council members for their selfless service to the state.

“Since I became governor, I didn’t sack any commissioner, but rather they sacked me by resigning from my cabinet. What is important in government are the core values of truth, justice, and fairness.

“When elected to serve the people, let us truly serve the people, as we will give account to God. I can’t claim success alone, what I did was to create the opportunity for you to serve”, he said.

The governor also urged former members of his cabinet to continue to work and support his administration, adding, “You are all part of this administration and architects of the new design for the growth and development of the state.”

Also commenting. the Deputy Governor,  Comrade Philip Shaibu, lauded the governor for his leadership style, stressing that all former members of the cabinet learnt from his political ideology.

“You have shown that you are a good leader. I appeal to you to continue with the good works. God has put you as the governor to lead Edo to a greater height and we all will continue to support you.”
