The immediate past governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has embarked on what he described as post-tenure vacation.

This was disclosed by the immediate past governor’s spokesman, Crusoe Osagie, via a statement on Wednesday.
Osagie said Obaseki, “Once again expressed his appreciation to God Almighty and 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.”
Obaseki finished his two-term of eight years on November 11 after handing over to Monday Okpebholo.
Okpebholo, who defeated the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Asue Ighodalo and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party, was on Tuesday was sworn in as the new governor of Edo State.
