The unedited message read:
I Congratulate H. E. Godwin Obaseki on his outstanding victory at the polls which returns him as second term governor of Edo state.
This victory transcends political platforms because it shows that true power belongs to the people not godfathers.
The outpour of votes in favour of Obaseki only proves that sheer determination by the people can make goals prevail .
Godfatherism breeds criminal politics, usurps the rights and choices of the people; and worsens the sociopolitical development of Nigeria.
Eradicating this vice will do Nigeria’s democracy a whole lot of good.
