Former Senator in the National Assembly represented Edo South Senatorial District, Senator Daisy Danjuma, has urged Edo women to rally behind the re-election of Governor Godwin Obaseki and Comrade Philip Shaibu for second term in the forthcoming governorship election slated for Saturday, 19th September, 2020.
Senator Daisy, who is the wife of General Theophilus Danjuma (Rtd) made the call at a reception organized in her honour by Edo Women For Obaseki/Shaibu in Benin City.
The former senator said there is no need to change a performing team. "The noted Governor deserved a second term for continuity of good governance.

She said, "the governor's sterling performance in all sectors of the state's economy compelled me to endorse his candidacy of the governor of Edo state for a second term in office at a function in Lagos even before the governor's defection to PDP."
"Governor Obaseki was in APC and I saw all what he was doing in Benin. I then said to myself this is not about party but about the individual.

"In my candid opinion is that, he has done well but as a member of Board of Trustee of People's Democratic Party (PDP), I supported Obaseki for continuity even before his defection to the party.
"Since the nation returned to democracy in 1999, governor Lucky Igbinedion ruled for eight years, Adams Oshiomhole also ruled for eight years why is it that a performing governor will not do eight years? There is no reason why a performing governor will not have a second term.

"I saw it that Godwin Obaseki will do something great, that is why I said, in spite of my party, I must support him for a second term for continuity to be able to finish all the good job that he started, and that at the end of the tenure he will look for a person who will continue with his good work," she said.
Daisy, who commended the former governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole for identifying Governor Godwin Obaseki as the right person to succeed him to develop the state, opined that success in government is where a governor was able to produce a right successor.

While canvassing for a violent- free election, she called on parents to sensitize their children on the need to shun violent and being used as agent of electoral fraud.
"It is your duty to encourage everybody around you, convince your husband, children and friends to come out on Saturday to vote for Governor Godwin Obaseki and PDP.
"I always said Nigerians who are rich to please improve the society, use your resource to improve the society. Our money is not for guns nor for any violent things. Please, use it to improve the people and also feed the people.

"We have alot of things to do please let support a good and performing governor that will provide us good governance.
"Nobody has governed only for four years in the state . please, let's vote right . No man is God. Vote right. Use your PVCs right and vote for Obaseki's re-election," she added.
Earlier, wife of the state governor, Besty Obaseki said that governor Godwin Obaseki is fighting a political battle not to liberate only Edo state but the nation from the shackles of godfatherism.
Besty urged women in the State to troop out on election day to re-elect the governor.
