He stressed the need to persevere, noting that “There is no better time to show this than now when we are faced with dire economic conditions which have put many in distress.

“On behalf of the government of Edo State, I wish all our Christian brothers and sisters a blessed and peaceful Good Friday.”
According to reports, Obaseki and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, are presently engaged in conflict over Shaibu’s desire to become governor.
