  As I inaugurated a 24-man Edo State Gender and Sexual Based Violence Management Committee (EDO-GBV) and a 24-man Gender Based Violence Technical Working Group, I charged them to bring an end to violence-based crimes in the state. The revised GBV law is now more comprehensive and has provisions for both legal and institutional mechanisms to combat violence against persons. The law has been well structured and will serve as an example for other states to follow.   In her vote of thanks, the Chairman of Edo-GBV Committee, our first lady, Mrs. Besty Obaseki, expressed readiness to work tirelessly in ensuring that the issue of gender-based violence becomes a thing of the past in Edo State.

"As a government that is concerned about welfare and well-being of the aged population, we have undertaken and employed nuanced strategies and reforms, especially in the service, to ensure that the elderly persons in the state no longer queue under the sun daily, lamenting over unpaid pensions and areas, as they now being paid as and when due, ' the governor said in part.  Reacting to the reassurance

This weekend, I visited injured Bendel Insurance Football Club players, at the Central Hospital, Benin City. Accompanying me, were, my deputy, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu and my chief of staff, Hon. Osaigbovo Iyoha. I am really shocked and very disappointed that, more than a week since the incident happened, the managers of the league have not come out to punish Remo football Club and all those that perpetrated this dastardly act of mob violence against their own colleagues. This is very barbaric and not in the spirit of sportsmanship. We have to take legal action against those responsible for this act. Bendel Insurance Football Club will not continue with the league until Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) takes appropriate action. This is the third time, I understand, our players have been attacked in the league. Fortunately, they are already covered by our insurance scheme in the state.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has berated President Muhammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress APC government over the clampdown of peaceful protesters.   The party condemned Buhari and the APC for the violent clampdown  on Nigerians who are peacefully protesting on Democracy Day by its agents.  According to the PDP, the brutal intimidation of citizens on Democracy Day is a sacrilegious demonstration of APC’s aversion to democracy as well as its barefaced repugnance towards Nigerians, particularly in their demands for their rights. PDP, in a statement by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan said, “It is awkward that the APC and President Buhari, who were allowed their freedom when they protested in 2014, would turn around to subject Nigerians to actions of inhumanity including the use of firearms against the people, as being witnessed today.  "It is instructive to note that President Buhari, in his supposed Democracy Day address, failed to rein in his security operatives desp

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is appalled by President Muhammadu Buhari’s deplorable performance at the exclusive interview on Arise Television this morning. Our party is dismayed that while millions of Nigerians eagerly expected President Buhari to use the interview to address salient issues confronting our nation, Mr. President bungled the opportunity by being evasive and dodgy while attempting to lay claims to projects done by PDP administrations.  Instead of addressing issues and providing direction for our nation, President Buhari exposed his cluelessness, paucity of ideas for development while making very provocative comments that could embolden terrorists as well as serve as recipe for further division and violence in the country. On Infrastructure, it is ludicrous to us in the PDP that Mr. President can disingenuously seek to subtract the deliverables achieved by past PDP administration from his so-called achievement on infrastructure. The PDP places it on record and we kn

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has identified weak institutions as a bane of Nigeria’s underdevelopment, hinting on the need for leaders across the country to build strong institutions to achieve sustainable development. Obaseki made the call while addressing youths in the state during a stakeholders’ engagement of the Edo State Transition Committee with youths and student groups at the New Festival Hall, Government House, Benin City. According to Obaseki, “Let us hold our political leaders to account; people will come and go, but institutions will remain. Let us build strong institutions and not individuals. The buildings are there; people have come and gone. “Let us begin to think of government that way. We must now begin to think of government differently. This is because institutions will take care of us; we also need to start to change the mentality that all arms of government go to collect allocation from Abuja. There is nothing to take. We all have to come together

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, on Tuesday, said the ruling of the Supreme Court affirming his victory in the September 19, 2020 governorship poll and dismissing the alleged certificate forgery suit against him, signals an end to godfatherism in the state and freedom for Edo people. Obaseki, who spoke to journalists after he was received by a mammoth crowd of supporters at the Benin Airport, hailed Edo people for their relentless support for his government. According to him, “For us in Edo, this victory means freedom and emancipation; it means that we must rededicate ourselves to our people because democracy is all about the people. "Democracy is not about an individual or godfather. We have defeated the godfather finally in Edo, in our quest to take Edo to where it should be.” The governor continued: “First and foremost, we need to thank God. You are all witnesses to what we have gone through in the last two or three years in our efforts to reposition the politics of
