Edo State governor, Godwin OBASEKI has advocated for a structural rejuvenation of the Nation, NIGERIA that is currently having a visible crack which should not be glossed over, advising that "we should go to the foundation and begin to fix the conditions because the cracks are expanding so wide.”
The governor while speaking with journalists in Benin City said "there is need for a mechanism to be put in place to ensure transparency in government, noting, “Only few persons in government are held accountable for their decisions in government.”
Governor Obaseki said “In a democracy, you need an institution that will ensure law and order and that is why we have the security agencies.
"Our security arrangement in the country must reflect our federal system as I can't be a governor of a state and not able to hire and fire my Commissioner of Police, but #ENDSARS protests have helped us to start the process.”
Mr. Godwin Obaseki, said "politicians must begin to prioritise the vehicle of governance to benefit the people", adding that "political leaders must remain selfless for Nigeria to attain its full potential".
Governor Obaseki who said he is not in government to be famous or make money at the expense of ensuring development that will benefit the people said, “I am not in government to make money, I am not in government for fame. I am in government to serve. The youths are the reasons why I am in government. If I cannot serve you, I will quit.”
He added: “The issues of better government, proper governance and transparency are what we are emphasising. When we have younger people who can use technology in government, we will have transparency and accountability, which informed my decision to have many younger people working for my government.
