Stop Threatening Godwin Obaseki – Ogbeide-Oyo Family

The Ogbeide-Oyo family in Edo State, which gave birth to the Obaseki family, has cautioned the people issuing threats on the life of their son and Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, that he is not within their reach.

They bared their minds in a recent communique released in Benin City.

It read, “Those people that see themselves as destroyers of life, let it be known to you that our son is not within your reach.”

“Sadly, our attention has been drawn to the purported threat to the life of our son by some persons who are hellbent on reversing the gains made under his able watch. We condemn this threat in its entirety.

“Therefore, we use this medium to inform well-meaning Nigerians and call on the apropos security agencies to probe this threat and put it under rigorous investigative scrutiny with those involved questioned and if found culpable should be made to face criminal prosecutions no matter how highly placed.”

“Our clarion call is premised on the fact never a day passes without the usual solemn report of one form of criminality perpetrated on innocent Nigerians across the length and breadth of our beloved country. We must not wait until they execute their evil plot before the needful is done.”

“If anyone has any issues against him, we enjoin them to bring cogent and verifiable evidence to indict him rather than resorting to crude methods culminating in this odiousness.

“A man who has sacrificed his all for the development of our dear state should not be messed up on the altar of re-election and unnecessary show of force.”

“The antecedent of the Ogbeide-Oyo Family in the history of Benin Kingdom is one to be relished and be proud of. In over a century we have contributed to the development of the state in particular and the country in general.

This family has produced notable and distinguished men and women continuously from one generation to the other.

Very recently, Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki came into political prominence when he became the Governor of the state. Notice the word Political. This is because Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki has always been a consummate professional for over 30 years.”
