Obaseki seeks traditional ruler’s support to produce worthy successor

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Tuesday urged the Otaru of Auchi, Aliru Momoh, to support his quest to produce a worthy successor.

Obaseki made the call at the 27th edition of the Auchi Day celebration, held in the town, which is the administrative headquarters of Etsako West Local Government Area.

The governor, represented by the Commissioner for Youths and Humanitarian Affairs, Dada Abubakar, also pleaded with the royal father and the community to cooperate with him to finish well and strong.

“I implore you to support us to produce a worthy successor who will make Edo the best in the country,” Obaseki said.

According to the governor, his administration had achieved a lot in Auchi and promised to do more for the community in the remaining days of his administration.

“As a government, we have achieved a lot in Auchi Sacred Kingdom, with the Auchi Central Hospital becoming a specialist hospital, the erosion control and rehabilitation of Igbe Road, as well as the upgrade of Ikelebe Sports Arena to a mini-stadium,” he said.

Obaseki also cited the construction of Bishop Court Road, GRA, the Lassa fever isolation treatment centre, and the Auchi water facility reticulation water supply scheme.

The governor commended the Otaru for his peaceful and accommodating disposition in discharging the affairs of his kingdom.
