Fintiri: Obaseki’s re-election puts ‘godfatherism’ to rest in Edo politics

Governor Ahmadu  Fintiri of Adamawa State has described Governor Godwin Obaseki as one that has changed the landscape of Edo politics by putting ‘godfatherism’ to rest.
Fintiri, in a statement by his Press Secretary, Mr Humwashi Wonosikou, on Sunday in Yola, said  that the re -election of Obaseki was well deserved.
Obaseki  was declared winner and returned elected by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in Benin after  defeating  Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of APC in the Saturday’s governorship election in Edo.
“The  Edo election result is an affirmation and demonstrated that Obaseki’s re-election is indeed a true reflection of the wishes of the people of Edo.
“Obaseki  should write his name in gold as one who changed the politics of Edo by putting  ‘god fatherism’ to rest,” Fintiri said.
Fintiri, who was the vice chairman of the PDP National campaign committee for Edo governorship election, urged Obaseki and the PDP to extend a hand of fellowship to the opposition.
He advised Obaseki to dedicate himself to re-uniting the people of the state and be governor to all.
“The path is now clear for focused piloting of the states affairs toward doing more for the people of Edo in your last term as Governor.”
He noted that the people of Edo had spoken well and made their votes count.
