Godwin Obaseki, the immediate former governor of Edo state, has embarked on a vacation to “rest and undergo extended medical checks”.

 

Crusoe Osagie, media adviser to the former governor, who announced the development in a statement on Wednesday did not state where Obaseki would undertake his vacation.

 

Obaseki finished his two-term of eight years on November 11 after handing over to Monday Okpebholo, the new governor of the state.

 

Osagia said Obaseki, “Once again expressed his appreciation to God Almighty and the people of Edo state and Nigeria for the opportunity to serve”.

 

“He urged all Edo people, both at home and in the diaspora, to continue to be hopeful and pray for the peace, progress, and prosperity of our state and Nigeria,” Osagie added.
