Speaking on Channels
Television 'Sunrise Daily', Obaseki noted that he is not a violent man but also
added that no man can stop him from returning as Edo State's Governor.
He said;
“I am not a violent
person. But I am confident that the way I got into power is the same way I will
return.
“God gave me power.
If he wants me to return I will continue. No man can stop me. Power comes from
God."
Commenting on the
crisis rocking the Edo state chapter of the APC, Obaseki said;
“We have always
canvassed for peace. What are the issues in Edo and what are the issues that
cannot be resolved in a democracy. Our concern is to use the resources of the
people to develop the state.
“This shouldn’t lead
to bloodshed. We will not accept to be cowed and intimidated because some
people think that they can manipulate rules and cut corners.
When asked if it’s
not the resources of the people of Edo State that was used for him to become
the governor, Obaseki added;
"I have friends
with resources. I worked for eight years behind the scene before I became
governor.
“So all that
insinuations about using somebody’s resources…I became Governor on the platform
of the party and I am grateful for it.
“It does not matter
whether it is direct or indirect (primaries), I will win."
This occurred
shortly before Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu emerged as the consensus candidate of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) faction believed to be loyal to National
Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
