Addressing journalists on Friday in Benin, the Governor said: \u201cIt is not in my place to now determine, appoint or anoint any successor, but all I know is that in the process of seeking my successor, there must be fairness, equity, and a sense of inclusion because our goal is to keep Edo as one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obaseki also disclosed that his administration was focused on finishing strong.<\/p>\n

He assured that his administration planned to finish all uncompleted projects before the governorship election.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, that is the only issue I understood that may be a problem and that should not stop us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe important thing for us as an administration is for us to finish strong and try to complete everything we told Edo people we would do for them during our campaign,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
