Obaseki’s Victory: Edo People Rejected Bullion Van Democracy – Bode George

Former Deputy National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Bode George has commended the people of Edo State for having spoken loud and clear by voting Governor Godwin Obaseki and rejecting bullion van democracy.
George maintained that Edo people had spoken without ambiguity, without equivocal expression. He stressed that they were bold and brave for rejecting the bullion van democracy, pointing out that they stood against outside interlopers.
The former deputy national chairman said that Edo people were firm and committed to the purity of the democratic process and in the end, their willl prevailed. They made their choice in the person of Governor Godwin Obaseki who himself had braved all odds and all the dark schemings and intrigues of the undemocratic forces. He has triumphed over what seemed a great hurdle.
While congratulating Obaseki, the Atona Odua of Yoruba land stated: “I congratulate Governor Godwin Obaseki for this well deserved victory. I congratulate our party managers who pulled through this victory by ensuring that the right things were done at the right time.
“The election was peaceful, fair and just. The Security operatives were much alert to their responsibilities. Independent Natonal Electoral Commission (INEC) too conducted itself in a worthy manner. It was apparently neutral and committed itself to the fairness doctrine which is the hallmark of democracy itself.”
