The new deputy governor of Edo State, Omobayo Godwins, has
vowed never to drag power with Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Godwins promised to work with Obaseki to the end of the
governor’s eight-year term on November 12, 2024.
He spoke while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics
Today programme on Monday.
Godwins said he is learning on the job and won’t hesitate to
do all that his principal instructs him to do.
According to him: “It’s okay with me. Life is a process. At
37+, I am already a deputy governor, it has improved my political outlook and I
am not in a rush to drag with my governor.
Whatever he says I should do is what I will do. He knows my
strength. So, I will dwell on my strength when it comes to adding value.
Politically, I am learning on the job.”
Godwins was appointed deputy governor following the
impeachment of Philip Shaibu by the Edo State House of Assembly after the
adoption of the report of Justice S. A. Omonua (retd)-led impeachment panel.
The panel was set up by the Chief Judge of Edo State to
investigate allegations of misconduct and perjury against Shaibu.
Eighteen out of the 20 lawmakers that attended the plenary on Monday, April 8, 2024 voted in favour of the impeachment while one voted against.
