There was shock and panic on Thursday as an Aide-de-Camp to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Thursday, collapsed during the governor’s second-term inauguration at the Tennis Court of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, the state capital.
The ADC collapsed while Obaseki was making an appreciation speech after the Oath of Office was administered by the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Esther Edigin.
The yet to be identified ADC was standing behind Obaseki during the speech but suddenly slumped.
However, the governor went ahead to complete the speech, which lasted about 20 minutes, as four other aides attended to the ADC.
The Edo State government is yet to issue any statement on the development as of the time of filing this report.
Obaseki, who won a second term on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, after he was denied the ticket of his original party, the All Progressives Congress, expressed gratitude to the PDP for “covering us with the umbrella when we were abandoned in political wilderness”.
PDP governors that attended tthe inauguration include Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, and Duoye Diri of Bayelsa State.
