A former Director General of the Nigerian Governors Forum, Osaro Onaiwu, has felicitated with Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo on his 66th birthday.
Onaiwu, in a statement signed and issued on Saturday, said he was grateful to the almighty for giving the Edo State governor good health at 66.
He also praised Obaseki for tremendous improvement, especially in the area of infrastructure.
The pioneer DG said that Obaseki had recorded great feats in the last seven years and worked hard for the state, regardless of challenges thrown his way.
He said, “Despite the several darts thrown at the governor, I wish to state that Governor Obaseki made tremendous improvements in the area of infrastructure and others.
“While wishing him more years in good health, Onaiwu said he also prayed God to open the governor’s eyes to discard those senior aides who have been masterminds of the anti-people policies the governor has taken in recent times.
“Obaseki is seriously working for the good of our state, but a few of his aides have used the powers of voodoo to influence some decisions which the people unknowingly recorded against the governor.
“I am proud to say he has worked hard for the state, regardless of every “wind,” and I believe he will finish strong by the time he hands over next year.”
