Obaseki said with the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, the people needed a leader with focus and one genuinely concerned about the well-being of the people of the state.
He stated, “What you have seen in the last three years and eight months is small compared to what we have planned for our second term. We have the experience that our opponent does not have.
“Our radical reforms have given us a solid foundation to build on. We will tackle security challenges in the state.”
