Edo State Governor said yesterday that he does not care if Godwin Obaseki his successor, betrays him.
Obaseki of APC won the gubernatorial
election in the state September and will take over from Oshiomhole on
November 12.
He said: “That is very important if you say he (Obaseki) will disappoint
me, I am not the state. I am only one out of about four million Edo
people. So, his obligation and his loyalty should be to the people of
Edo State.
“The oath of office he is going to subscribe to says that he will defend
the constitution of Nigeria, he will do everything to uplift the
quality of lives of Edo people. Nothing in his oath office will include
‘I shall not betray my predecessor’ because I have no interest to be
betrayed.”
