The faction of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to former Governor Godwin Obaseki has been identified as a group that does not want peace in Edo State and has been classified as the real enemy of the state.
In a statement, former Chief Press Secretary to Obaseki, Mr. John Mayaki, said those who do not want the state to progress under Governor Monday Okpebholo’s leadership should be publicly declared as enemies of the state. He accused them of celebrating bad news and setbacks rather than supporting development.
Mayaki, who commended Governor Okpebholo for his resilience and strong efforts in ensuring a smooth transition despite the obstacles left behind by the previous administration said, “The enemies of the state will fail, and the people will triumph.”
He continued, “Thank God for Senator Monday Okpebholo and all he has been doing for the people of Edo State. I believe that despite every attempt to slow him down, God alone will give him the courage to continue.”
Mayaki also assured the governor of God’s continuous guidance and protection as he works to deliver democratic dividends to the people of Edo State, despite deliberate distractions meant to impede his administration.
“We, the good people of Edo state want peace, unity, and continued development. Anyone who thinks otherwise is the real enemy of the state,” he said.
