Edo 2020: Oshiomole’s former aid pledges support for Obaseki
Things seem to be looking up for Governor Obaseki in his re-election bid as a former aide to Comrade Adams Oshiomole, Mr. Andrew Momodu, has announced his defection to the People’s Democratic party. Mr Momodu also pledged the sum of N5 million to support the re-election of Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Elsewhere, Governor Obaseki seems to have added another ally to his campaign as he engages a higher gear towards the September 19 polls. This was in event of an assurance by the Eramah Anwian of Anwain Kingdom in Etsako East LGA of Edo North, His Royal Majesty, Mufutairu Oare, who told Governor Obaseki that whatever he desires from members of the Anwain community will be given in double proportion as he heads towards the polls.

“Mr. Governor, we are assuring you that you are at home. This community road has been a disaster for over a thousand years until your intervention. We were cut off from Edo State until you gave us a good road that integrated us back as members of the state. We cannot forget such a gesture. The government comes and goes and no government remembers that we exist. But Obaseki came and connected us back to the state through good roads
“It took 24hours to come out from the community to the main road but today, the story is no more the same. In less than an hour, you can now approach various parts of the state due to a good network of roads.
“We are preparing a carnival to receive you on the 12th of this month but you came today, otherwise, you would have known what is called a reception of honour. Go to other areas to campaign, you don’t need to campaign in this community because this community has no other option than the PDP. Anywhere Obaseki/Shaibu stands, that’s where the entire Anwain community will stand” the Eramah said.
