He said co-ordinators will be mobilise to Edo state to work with state local government co-ordinators and ward officials at the grassroots level to achieve the primary aims and objectives of the governor’s mandate.
He said Obaseki has performed beautifully well in his first tenure as governor of Edo State and we need to all come together to work for his re-election by mobilising Edo sons and daughters resident in Abuja and in the State with strategies and structures without confrontations.
“We must strategise and be fully on the ground both in the FCT and at our various local governments at home. Our primary responsibility is to ensure that we all get Edo Sons and Daughters to vote for Governor Godwin Obaseki.
“Let’s me tell you, I might not be the best person here to lead but somebody must lead others that was what prompted me to these ideas.
“We must educate our people in the languages they will understand because the vote of our people for Obaseki must count, we will see how to help our people in relocating their voter cards to their various polling centre to have the require numbers,” Chief enthused.
