Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday was in Edo for the grand finale of the APC governorship election campaign rally in Benin city.
Addressing the mammoth crowd at the campaign venue, Buhari hailed APC's candidate, Godwin Obaseki.
Here are his words:
“I congratulate Obaseki and I recommend him to you. He is a seasoned man so that you will continue to grow in Edo state. You have a credible team, you better hold them tight and ensure that Obaseki succeeds.
He also paid tribute to the late Benin monarch, Oba Erediauwa, whom he described as a man of foremost integrity and forthright.
“Oshiomhole has reminded you of what we have gone through from 1999 to 2015. We have seen development more than what it used to be when Edo State was created. It was at that time that I met with the Oba who has joined his ancestors, and I saw a man with great integrity and there is no doubt that there is hardly any traditional ruler which is foremost and forthright like him.”
“Edo people are lucky because as long as Nigeria exists, we will continue to play our role in stabilizing Nigeria. We are a nation of great human and material resources especially the youths. Please sit down and reflect and remember what I said years ago that there is no other nation like Nigeria. We will remain one together because no matter where you go the colour of your skin will be a problem for you.
The election is slated for next Saturday, the 10th of September, 2016.
