Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki and his deputy, Philip
Shaibu, have been sworn in for a second term in office on Thursday in Benin
City, the state capital.
In attendance at the inauguration which took place at the
Tennis Court of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, were governors of the
Peoples Democratic Party including Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Aminu Tambuwal
of Sokoto State, Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, and Duoye Diri of Bayelsa State.
PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, was also present at
the event with some other party officials while Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
was represented by a government official.
Obaseki had defected to the PDP from the All Progressives
Congress after he was denied the ruling party’s ticket in the primary election
due to intra-party wrangling.
He later defeated the APC candidate in the September 19,
2020 governorship election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, to be re-elected governor of the
state.
