He said, “Governor, you have particularly dignified me because I have come here to commission projects more than any other state in Nigeria.
“It is not my experience with one governor when I was the President of Nigeria. He invited a former President to commission a project, he invited the Vice President to Commission the same project and he invited me to commission also the same project.
“It was when I was commissioning the project that someone told me that I would be the third person to be invited to commission the same project.
“Governor, you are not that kind of governor. Every occasion is a new project, every occasion is something that adds to something that exists and God will continue to expand your coast.

Edo Patriotic Peoples Assembly convener, Comrade Raymond Evbuomwan in a statement signed and made available to newsmen in Benin City said the choice of Edo Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, will not only ensure continuity but consolidate the developmental trajectories of the past administrations of Adams Oshiomhole and the current administration of Godwin Obaseki sterling performances.
According to Evbuomwan, “In view of the manifest developmental trajectories that Edo State has witnessed since 2008 when Adams Oshiomhole served as two terms Governor, as well as the current administration of Godwin Obaseki – where Osarodion Ogie was placed as Chief of Staff, later as Works Commissioner, and currently the Secretary to the State Government since 2016, his impact in the two administrations can be honestly appraised as prolific and populist oriented.
“In the light of the above good governance pedigree, we at an enlarged stakeholders meeting of our Assembly resolve to call on Barr. Osarodion Ogie to give the Governorship a shot was total and very audible.
“The good governance strides of the State must be sustained, and such can only be guaranteed by someone who has tenaciously networked with the past and present administration. “
