……..Congratulates Obasaki and counsels him to
concentrate on how to take Edo to the next level.
As reactions continue to trail the just concluded governorship election in Edo State, which saw the emergence of Godwin Obaseki as Governor for a second term, founder and President of David Umahi Nweze Akubaraoha Ebonyi Transformation Agenda (DUNAETA), Lady Monica Chidinma Eze, has joined in solidarity with Obaseki and the Edo State Chapter of the People's Democratic Party.
In a statement
circulated to the media, Lady Monica recalled how Governor David Umahi of
Ebonyi State predicted about eight months ago that Governor Godwin Obasaki will
be reelected and to the pride of members of the PDP family, his prophesy came
to fruition when on the 20th September, 2020, the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) formally declared Obaseki winner of the Edo State
gubernatorial election held on Saturday, 19th September, 2020.
According to the
result as declared by INEC, Governor Godwin Obasaki of PDP polled 307, 955
Votes to defeat his closest rival, Pastor Ize-Iyamu of APC who polled 223, 619
Votes
Lady Monica,
erstwhile Technical Adviser to Governor Umahi, emphasized that only a governor
with a divine inspiration, perception, mentality and most importantly, with the
fear of God can be bold enough to make such declaration even when he was in a
different political party then.
Lady Monica AKA
Ada Ebonyi recalled that Gov. Umahi made the declaration while addressing Mr.
Obaseki’s wife, Betsy, and other Southern governors’ wives who were on a
courtesy call on him in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital in January, 2020.
The Southern Governors' wives were in the state for the Southern Nigeria
Governors’ Wives Forum quarterly meeting.
Lady Monica AKA
Ada Ebonyi recalled the exact words of Governor Umahi thus, “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.
“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. "Let me reiterate that Gaodwin Obaseki
will be re-elected Governor of Edo State and nothing will stop his re-election
because he has done well and deserves to continue in office.”
Governor Umahi
who is an Apostle of the most High God has influenced the construction of a lot
of churches even when he was not in government and today to his credit he has
ensured the great benefit and welfare of most Men of God in his State and most
importantly, he constructed the highest and most beautiful Church Auditorium in
the entire West African subregion by any Government Organ. One can now
understand why God didn't want his prophecy to go unanswered.
For him to make
this prophecy when Obasaki was still in APC shows the level of spirituality he
exhibits.
Monica recall
also with nostalgia how both Madam Comfort Obi a seasoned Journalist and
Publisher including the Edo Chapter of the PDP and many people who couldn't
understand the prophesy of this great man of God attacked him and even
threatened to report him to the PDP Leadership.
The PDP in Edo
said such endorsement from Governor Umahi, a PDP Chieftain is a threat to their
party in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
“This practice
you will agree with us is condemnable and smacks of indiscipline and
ingratitude. It defeats the spirit of camaraderie that is supposed to exist
within a political party. It is a morale-damper and it’s unacceptable,” Dan
Orbih, the state chairman of PDP said to the party national chairman, Uche
Secondus, in a letter he wrote to him on Umahi.
“Use your office
to call Governor Umahi to order so that this open treachery doesn’t become a
norm in our great party,” Mr Orbih added.
Monica expressed
happiness that it is Mr Orbih, the PDP State Chairman and Nigerians that are
today celebrating the victory which Umahi's prophecy played a pivotal role to
bring to pass.
Lady Monica
Chidinma Ada Eze AKA Ada Ebonyi congratulated Gov. Godwin Obasaki on his well
deserved victory and appealed to him to use his second term to work for the
total emancipation and development of Edo State as anything short of this will
not be acceptable to God and the good people of Edo State who contributed
immensely to ensure that that he was able to defeat the very strong forces that
never wished him any good.
Lady Monica
assured that they will continue to pray for the success of Obaseki's administration
in Edo State.
"Let me
reassure you that together with our great Governor, we will continue to pray
for your great success and to become the best Governor of Edo State after Dr.
Samuel Ogbemedia".
She therefore
called on the people of Edo State to continue to give their support to the
Governor in his desire to maintain and expand investments in critical sectors
of the economy.
