The First Lady of Edo State, Mrs Betsy Obaseki, has dismissed allegations that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has planned to influence the outcome of next Saturday’s governorship election in favour of the All Progressives Congress, APC, using “federal might.”
DAILY POST reports that the Edo First Lady said this while responding to questions during an online television interview.
“President Tinubu is smarter and wiser. He is not at their level at all. I also want to praise former President Muhammadu Buhari for his democratic stance and using federal power only to safeguard voters, not to tamper with election results,” she said.
Mrs Obaseki opined that President Tinubu would not undermine democratic processes given his history as a reformer during his tenure as governor of Lagos State.
“President Tinubu, who is committed to good governance and continuity, would not disrupt the progress made in Edo under my husband’s administration, especially when the state has received international recognition for its development.
“Now the father of the nation, President Tinubu would not lend his support to efforts aimed at destabilising a well-governed state. If every state governor begins to toe these paths set out in Edo and Lagos, one day we will all wake up to a good Nigeria,” she stated.
