Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has been sworn-in for a second term in office. He signed the oath certificate at exactly 12noon on Thursday, November 12, in Benin City, the state capital after the Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu has taken his Oath of Allegiance and Oath of Office earlier.
There was a parade of honour by officers and men of the Edo State Police Command while the certificate was presented to the Governor by the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Esther Edigin.
The elated Obaseki returned cheers to his teeming supporters who thronged the venue to felicitate with the Governor.
Obaseki received the mantle from Adams Oshiomhole four years ago as a member of the All Progressive Congress but could not secure a second term ticket under the party, necessitating his defection to the People’s Democratic Party and won the September 19 gubernatorial election.
