The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has pledged to deliver on the promises he made to Edo people and also launched Digital Benin website as curtain closes on Alaghodaro.
Obaseki made the pledge on Sunday in Benin City during the thanksgiving service of the 6th Alaghodaro Summit with the theme: ‘More Than Conquerors.’
Expressing gratitude to God for the inspirations that have translated to the people-focused policies and programs of his administration, Obaseki said: “Thank God again and again for having seen us through these six years.
“After today we are beginning to wind down our administration but there is still so much to do in the next two years than we have done in the last six years, we have to sustain the momentum.”
He assured that despite the tough times that Nigerians are currently going through, there is need to be hopeful, adding that “God has a purpose for us, things may be tough, Nigeria is at a turning point.”
He added that Edo is blessed and has a lot to offer the world, which he said explains the growing number of people that fly into the State daily for socio-economic transactions.
The thanksgiving service which featured Bible reading and praise and worship sessions, was presided over by Christian leaders such as Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude of the New Covenant Gospel Church, Bishop Orinname Oyonnude Kure of the Evidence of the Gospel Church and Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Edo State chapter, and Apostle Dr. Gordon Osagiede, amongst others.
