Governor Adams Oshiomhole has said that the prospects of former Governor Lucky Igbinedion to take the position of reckoning in the state will ever remain a daydream.

Speaking to journalists in Benin yesterday, the governor said the imminent defeat of the PDP candidate; Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu would ensure that the Igbinedion family does not return to dictate the pace and pattern of governance in the state.

“I want to make it clear to Lucky that the next governor can never be from Igbinedion’s family. The next governor will be a people’s governor and that person by the Special Grace of God is Godwin Obaseki.

“I am aware that they are in pains since I became governor. I had to retrieve all they held hostage and gave back to the people. Our people will never go back to the dark days, and my fight against god fatherism has been successful, and that is why today any Edo man or woman can become a governor without going to any god father. They are crying, and I am happy, and they will continue to cry.

“So let me tell Lucky my good friend to forget about the result of the election because his PDP and Ize-Iyamu will not win. He should ask himself what his PDP has done in Edo to deserve victory, nothing. So they should stop this their bad dream that they will win. Edo people have rejected the god fathers, and they will never return” he stated.
