OMOBAYO GODWINS MARVELOUS was a joke taken too far.

“The inauguration of the Deputy Governor, which triggered overwhelming commendation and jubilation across the state and ushered in fresh hope with sense of belonging in Edo North and Akoko-Edo in particular, has continued to put the Deputy Governor’s adversaries in obvious panic mode.”

Going further, the Akoko-Edo PDP chairman added that prominent leaders of Edo North expressed satisfaction for the choice of Engr OMOBAYO GODWINS MARVELOUS as the new Deputy Governor of Edo State.

Johnson Abolagba, Amb Dele Idaomi, Elder Olu Dania, Mrs. P O. Balogun, Okomayin Monday Sule, Hon. Onaivi Ojo, Mr Abiodu Johnson, Hon. Inumidun Taiwo, Hon. Henry Ashefor, Hon. Solomon Taiwo (JP), Hon. Momoh Andrew Ojo Momoh (aka) Special, Mrs. Ugbesea and Chief Taiwo Akerele, former Chief of Staff to Governor Obaseki, an APC Chieftain among other PDP Chieftains, who are too numerous to mention, including all our prominent Royal Traditional Rulers in all communities in Akoko-Edo lauded and celebrated the choice of Engr. OMOBAYO GODWINS MARVELOUS as the new Deputy Governor of Edo State.”

He noted, “High Chief Engr. OMOBAYO GODWINS MARVELOUS, Edo State Deputy Governor who has since started working to compliment the efforts of his principal, His Excellency Godwin Obaseki led the powerful state delegation on behalf of the State Governor to the 6th meeting of the National Council of Niger-Delta.
