The Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has come out to say that Mr. Godwin Obaseki will be re-elected as Governor of Edo State and nothing will stop that from happening.
Umahi believes Obaseki has done well and deserves to remain his office to continue the good work.
He said this as he addressed Obaseki’s wife, Betsy and other Southern Governors’ Wives who were on a courtesy call to him in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.
According to him, power belongs to God and he'll always have the final say, so he is prophesying that no one will unseat Governor Godwin in the state.
His words, “Power belongs to God and no matter what anybody will do, it is God that has the final say. I can assure you ma, you know as an apostle of the most high God, I also prophesy. And because of the good work your husband is doing for the people of Edo State, no man can unseat him.
“I made this statement so that the glory of God will become larger. It happened here in Ebonyi; I've a testimony of what God can do.
“Even in our National Executive Council meetings, when Obaseki speaks, you see (that he understands) Economics. You see a man that came from a private sector background. We can’t wish that away. So, congratulations to you in advance and to all of us.”
“You know as governors, we've so several elections. First is the primaries, second one is the polls, then the third one is the tribunal.
“The other one is the appeal and then the election of the elections, is the Supreme Court.
“So, it is not an easy thing and if the hand of God is not upon you, you can’t scale through all these hurdles. It is God who has brought all of us to leadership and I say double congratulations to all of us.”
