The immediate past governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has proceeded on vacation to rest and undergo a medical check-up.
The move is coming following the completion of his second tenure as the Edo governor on November 11, 2024.
This was disclosed in a statement by his Media Adviser, Crusoe Osagie, on Wednesday.
Osagie said, “Following the completion of his second term, a former governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has proceeded on vacation to rest and undergo a medical check-up.
“Obaseki, once again, expressed his appreciation to God Almighty, the people of Edo State and Nigeria, for the opportunity to serve.
“He urged all Edo people both at home and in the Diaspora to continue to be hopeful and pray for the peace, progress, and prosperity of our state and Nigeria.”
Before handing over the state administration to the new governor, Monday Okpebholo, Obaseki granted pardon to 10 inmates with less than one year to serve their terms in correctional centres in the state.
