Although the last seven years have been challenging but the support from my team was instrumental to surmounting the challenges. This was according to the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, at a get-together party organized by the Office of the Chief of Staff to the Governor to appreciate members of staff in Government House for their commitment and dedication that led to the various successes recorded.
Governor Obaseki, represented by the Chief of Staff, Dr. Osaigbovo Iyoha, thanked the staff of Government House and Protocol unit for their contributions to the success of his administration so far.
“Only God can pay you for your steadfastness and faithfulness; the journey has not been easy. We survived the challenges as a result of the commitment from all of you, staff of the Government House and also with God on his side.
“This is a gathering of the staff of the governor and I am his Chief of Staff. I called this to appreciate all of you and the work you are doing for Mr. Governor. We see the work which is not easy. The governor appreciates everybody who has in one way or the other contributed to the success of this administration.
“The staff members include those working in the Government House and Protocol Unit; Governor’s Press Unit; Chief of Staff’s office and other offices attached to the Governor’s Office. Thank you for the job you have been doing in the last seven years. Thank you for the one you are going to do until we leave office in November 2024.”
Legal Adviser to the Edo State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Arthur Esene, expressed the party’s gratitude to members of staff of the Governor’s Office, noting that the party was impressed with the contributions of the members of staff.
Some other guests present include some members of Edo State House of Assembly (EDHA), past and serving government functionaries, among others.
