Farewll Letter To Gov Obaseki

As Godwin Obaseki takes his exit after two terms in office as governor of Edo State having served on the platform of the PDP and APC, Senator Ehigie Uzamere who preceded his feat as a PDP and ACN senator bids him farewell

Your Excellency, 

As you come to the end of a two-term tenure as Governor of Edo State, I join the people of Edo in expressing heartfelt gratitude for your transformative leadership. Your dedication to governance, rather than politics, has been truly inspiring. 

Your vision for infrastructure in Edo State is remarkable. You’ve upgraded roads, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, agricultural hub, business, and commerce to world-class standard, making Edo an attractive destination for investors and citizens alike.  Benin Industrial Park, Urhonigbe Rubber Estate, Ethanol plants at Ologbo and Urhonigbe and the Modular Refinery Project, etc, are testaments to your innovative spirit.

Your efforts to digitalize governance have made Edo State a model for other States to follow. By transitioning government operations to paperless systems, you have enhanced efficiency, transparency, and accountability.

Your creative approaches to revenue generation have significantly boosted the State’s economy. The Edo State Oil Palm Programme (ESOPP) and Ossiomo Power Project are notable examples of initiatives that have attracted investments and created jobs.

Your commitment to tackling crime has yielded impressive results. The substantial reduction in crime rate is a testament to your administration’s effectiveness in ensuring public safety. 

Although governance is premised on certain basic principles, every chief executive comes with his unique style. Your style was so radically different from those of your predecessors that a section of the polity, expecting business as usual, was determined not to understand your style while another section genuinely did not understand you due to operational frequency differential, with you at a much higher frequency than they. Everything considered, it is my belief that you are one governor more sinned against than you ever sinned. 

History will vindicate the just and implicate the unjust. Your legacies are eternal. Contemporary people hardly honour their heroes while in office, but posterity is always a better judge.

Her Excellency Mrs Betsy Obaseki, – a woman of integrity and foresight – with her contributions in the areas of, protection of rights of women and her numerous pet projects, was a fitting complement to your leadership.

As you bid farewell, your legacy will continue to inspire future generations. Your contributions to the growth and development of Edo State, will forever be cherished.

Thank you for your selfless service, Governor Godwin Obaseki. May mercy, favour, and grace of God be upon you always.

I wish you a resounding success in your future endeavours. 

Most Sincerely,

Senator Ehigie Uzamere, KSC.
