Chairman of the Edo State governorship election National
Campaign Council, Governor Nyesom Wike has said he disagrees with Asiwaju Ahmed
Bola Tinubu over his comments about the Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, not
being a democrat.
Wike said despite his respect for the Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Tinubu cannot determine if Edo State Governor
Godwin Obaseki is a democrat or not.
The Rivers State Governor said this in his final media
interview ahead of the Edo State governorship election on Saturday.
He said only Edo people can determine and decide if they
want Governor Obaseki or not.
Wike maintained that without the interference of the Federal
government and its agencies, Governor Obaseki will win Saturday’s election
squarely.
“I will say it anywhere, Bola Tinubu is one of the
politicians I respect highly.
“Going by what happens in Lagos that one person determines
everything, it can be allowed to happen in Edo. You cannot allow that.
“And with all due respect if Bola Tinubu says Obaseki is not
a democrat that is his own view. Many of us know that Obaseki is a democrat and
it is left for Edo people to determine if Obaseki is a democrat or not.
“If it is by popular
voting we can go and sleep knowing that the election is over but because we
know that it is not over because they are relying on the federal government
that is why I am calling on all Edo persons to take this election as their own
contribution to the development of Edo State,” Wike said.
