Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State Sunday says his administration would be slightly different from that of his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole.
The governor who was sworn-in last Saturday (November 12, 2016) along his deputy, Philip Shaibu by Crowell Idahosa at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium said the last four years of Oshiomhole’s administration was more of politics rather than governance.
Obaseki spoke at a luncheon organized for him and his deputy at government house after the thanksgiving at Anglican Church in Benin-City also announced that there would be no free lunch any more in the state as people has to get value for their money.
“There is no free lunch any more. No free lunch any more everybody must now work to earn and chop.
“Please, the people of the state should try to be patient with me and very soon will we get to our destination. I want to inform you all that our administration is going to be slightly different if not different from the last four years of my predecessor.
“The reason is simply because in the last four years we had to do a lot of politics because we have to recover our state from strange people who took over and by the grace of God we have recovered our state and it is now our state.
“So in the next four years we are going to be concentrating on what to do with our state. We will be having more governance and less politics so that we can move Edo forward”, he said.
He however assured that nobody would be left of his administration as the space was big enough to accommodate anybody.
“But I can assure you that nobody will be left out there will be space for everybody, the young, not too young and the old. We have task for everybody but the problem we have is that we now have to get value for everything we have. There is no free lunch any more. No free lunch any more everybody must now work to earn and chop”, he stated.
