Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has expressed confidence that his political fallout with Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike will not hinder the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming governorship election on Saturday.​


Wike, a key figure in Obaseki’s previous campaign against All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu in the 2020 election, has since distanced himself from Obaseki and announced that he will not support the PDP candidate, Asue Ighodalo, in this election.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Obaseki addressed concerns about Wike’s position, asserting that the people of Edo are wise enough to make their own electoral decisions.

Obaseki stated, “He (Wike) came to get Edo people to vote for me, right? Wow! Edo people are not that dumb; they know who to vote for.

“They don’t require the services of an outsider to make their decisions. Edo people will make their decisions this time because they know what they want.”


The governor also reflected on his political journey, emphasizing that he does not regret falling out with political associates, including Oshiomhole and his deputy, Philip Shaibu.

He suggested that some politicians may be dissatisfied with his governance approach, which prioritizes using state resources to address the needs of the people.

As the election approaches, Obaseki remains resolute in his belief that the PDP will secure victory, bolstered by the support of Edo residents who, he asserts, understand the issues at stake.
