According to Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, the people of Edo are intelligent enough to choose who to vote for.
This was said by Obaseki on Thursday during her appearance on Politics Today on Channels Television.
The governor further stated that the Peoples Democratic Party’s chances of winning the state’s governorship on Saturday will not be harmed by his disagreement with Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.
Remember that in 2020, Wike was one of the key figures who helped Obaseki defeat the All-Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who had the support of Adams Oshiomhole?

Wike has vowed not to support his candidate, Asue Ighodalo, come Saturday, having fallen out politically with Obaseki after the 2020 election.
Obaseki said, “He (Wike) came to get Edo people to vote for me, right? Wow! Edo people are not that dumb, they know who to vote for.
“They don’t require the services of an outsider to make their decisions. Edo people will make their decisions this time because they know what they want.”
The governor claims he does not regret having disagreements with Oshiomhole and Philip Shaibu, among other political allies. He also claims that certain politicians were upset with him for using public funds to address citizens’ concerns.
