He stress the need to build on the developmental effort of Governor Adams Oshiomhole saying that the state cannot afford to take the risk of retuning Edo back to the hands of king Pharaoh who were cluck in the wheel of the progress of the state during their reign. Obaseki called on the people of the state not to be distracted by political merchant who are more interested in selling their political wares of doom and destruction rather than fashioning ways of improving the lots of the people. As a people, Obaseki said we have a sacred duty to free our state from rivalries, ethnic conflicts and division. Our collective effort for a better Edo will continue to bind us together as one large family. He appeals to stakeholders in the Edo project to renew their commitment and be firm in their conviction that democracy is fundamental to achieving the requisite stability that will enable the realization of the needed change.

Speaking on the forth coming governorship election, Obaseki said the state cannot afford to return back to the days of bondage where the state was deprived from the dividend of democracy. Edo State needs a well-focused manager who has the interest of the state at heart; someone who is administratively skillful; someone who will deliver. The aspirant gave background into his various areas of service to the nation and the state that made him possesses the ability, courage, sincerity and guiding philosophy to provide the right leadership for the betterment of the people as a stickler for hard work and excellence”.
