According to Mr Obahiagbon, a one-time member of the House of Representatives, the governor handled the matter as a true leader.
Obahiagbon also said his political ambition would be determined by what the governor wants.
On the widow’s matter, he said:“It has brought to the fore the indubitable and irrefragable fact that the comrade governor is quite sensitive to public opinion and responsive to the whirligig of societal dialectics. Certainly nobody has faulted the fact that the widow in question was in clear breach and consequently ran foul of extant laws. Nobody has faulted the fact that the comrade governor is deservable of eulogisation and even panegyrics for leaving the comfort of his office to supervise the adherence of environmental laws, which in itself showcases him as a governor that strips himself of Olympian aloofness to governance issues no matter how routine they may be.
“The only sore point in that concatenation of events was the manner of the ventilation of his righteous indignation for which he has since robustly rose to the occasion as a statesman that he is by apologising to the lady, releasing her confiscated goods to her, offering her employment and empowering her financially to grow her business. That for me is what leadership is all about. The ability for a leader to say I am sorry for an act of omission or commission in deference to societal expectations is the fundamental and diaphanous difference between a politician and a statesman. So for me, that incident has stood him out as a statesman than a politician.”

I am enjoying and savouring my duties as chief of staff to the comrade governor that I have not even given the idea of the next elections as it affects my person any thought. But even more fundamental is the fact that I cannot have any electoral ambition that is not authorised by my principal. That is my own understanding of loyalty.
“One step at a time my brother. I am a robot in the hands of God.
