Edo 2020: Be Courageous To Confront ‘A Man Who Wants To Compromise Truth,’ Oyegun Tells Obaseki

The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun has charged Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, to be courageous to stand up to politicians who have ulterior purposes for the state.

Oyedun, who declared his support for Obaseki’s re-election, said the governor has been able to do some of the things that his predecessors couldn’t do in the state.

The former APC chairman spoke during a meeting of Edo State indigenes in Abuja on Thursday.

“Mr Governor, you are standing for dignity. Mr Governor, you are standing for the truth. Mr Governor, you are standing for the type of Nigerian nation that we preached in 2015. A nation that will change ethically, morally, a nation that will know truth from falsehood, a nation that is ready to defend what is right at all times.

“Given the way you became governor, given the role that you are playing today, given the kind of example that you are showing to Nigerians, people should be ready to fight for the truth. They don’t know how difficult it is to reconcile a man who has truth with a man who wants to compromise those principles at all cost.

“So. it is our prayer that courage will not fail you. That the people of your state will stand by you and to assure you that we will stand by you,” he stated.
