By our reporter|The Aide-de-Camp to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, collapsed during the governor’s second-term inauguration at the Tennis Court of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, the state capital on Thursday.
The ADC to the governor collapsed while the governor gave an appreciation speech after the Oath of Office was administered by the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Esther Edigin.
He stood behind the governor during the speech but slumped while Obaseki appreciated members of the Peoples Democratic Party for “covering us with the umbrella when we were abandoned in political wilderness”.
About four other aides around the governor attended to the ADC as Obaseki ended his about 20-minute speech.
PDP governors at the inauguration include Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, and Duoye Diri of Bayelsa State.
The National Chairman of the Party, Uche Secondus, and some other party officials were also present at the event.
Obaseki elected on the platform of the ruling All Congress Party, (APC) defected to the PDP after he was denied relection ticket and later defeated the APC candidate in the September 19, 2020 governorship election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
