Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, says no man can unseat Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.

Mr Obaseki is seeking re-election. He has been drawn into a long battle with the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, over the state’s affairs.

However, during a visit to Umahi by Obaseki’s wife, Betsy, on Friday, the Ebonyi governor said he was confident that Obaseki would be re-elected.

Mrs Obaseki visited Umahi in the company of first ladies of some southern states who were in Ebonyi for the Southern Nigeria Governors’ Wives’ Forum quarterly meeting.

“Power belongs to God and no matter what anybody will do it is God that has the final say and I can assure you ma, you know as an apostle of the Most High God I also prophesy. And because of the good work your husband is doing for the people of Edo State no man can unseat him,” Umahi said.

“I made this statement so that the glory of God will become larger. It happened here in Ebonyi. I have a testimony of what God can do. Even in our NEC meeting, when Obaseki speaks, you see economics.

“You see a man that came from private sector background. And so, we can’t wish that away. So, congratulations to you in advance and to all of us. You know the governors; we have so many elections. First is the primary, second one is the poll, then the third one is the tribunal. Then another one is the appeal and then the election of the elections is the Supreme Court.”
