Newly sworn-in deputy governor of Edo State, Omobayo Godwins, has vowed not to engage in tussle over power with the state governor, Godwin Obaseki.
He said he would only act on the orders of the governor.
He made this known in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today Programme on Monday.
“Whatever he says I should is what I will do. He knows my strength. So, I will dwell on my strength when it comes to adding value. Politically, I am learning on the job.”
Godwins said that the state’s chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party called on him to take the place of a deputy governor.
“Becoming a deputy governor wasn’t expected. I was expecting to run for House of Reps in 2027 after losing in 2023. It is an act of God. I am happy about this and promise to be a model for Edo youths.
“PDP contacted me to be the deputy governor to Obaseki. Although, I have been following him for a very long time. Even though I was in the Labour Party, I was willing to pitch a tent with the PDP because of him and Ighodalo.”
