Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo has said that he was elected to serve the people of the state and not political leaders.<\/p>\n

Obaseki said this on Friday during the second-anniversary thanksgiving of the All Progressives Congress Christian Prayer Contact Committee.<\/p>\n

He was represented by the Secretary to Edo State Government, Mr Osarodion Ogie.<\/p>\n

Obaseki said: \u201cWe can\u2019t share the money and still meet up with our electoral promises to the people of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus is on Edo people, developing the state and making life better for the overall well-being of Edo people.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy administration has done well by fulfilling my electioneering promises; We have built institutions and restored law and order in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not owing our civil servants; we will pay August salary on the 20th due to the holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, pensioners no longer demonstrate in the state because their entitlements are paid when due while civil servants receive their salaries on the 26th of every month.<\/p>\n

He added that the dream of the administration was to make the state the economic hub of the nation.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Religious matters, Pastor Eghosa Omoruyi, said God had used the governor to touch the lives of the people.<\/p>\n

Omoruyi said that the state had experienced great development in just two years, adding \u201cwe are optimistic that before the end of his administration, Edo will be better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, Bishop Chukwu Anayo, the General Overseer of Covenant Ministry International in Imo state, said the governor had made the state peaceful for various religions to worship God.<\/p>\n

Anayo noted that prayer had helped the governor to achieve significant development, adding that the people were benefitting his leadership style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
