Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, have been sworn in for second term in office.
Obaseki and Shaibu took their oath of office on Thursday at the Tennis Court of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.
The low key inauguration is being attended by chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by the party national chairman, Uche Secondus.
Governors elected on the platform of the PDP including Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto) and Duoye Diri (Bayelsa) are in attendance at the ceremony.
Obaseki and his deputy, Shaibu, were re-elected for another four years in the September 19 governorship election in Edo on the PDP platform.
Governor Obaseki had defected to the PDP from the All Progressives Congress after he was denied the ruling party’s ticket in the primary election due to intra-party wrangling.
