The New Diplomat had reported that Obaseki and his deputy, Hon Phillip Shaibu were sworn-in on Thursday as Governor and Deputy Governor of Edo State respectively for a second term in office.

The inauguration ceremony which was held at the Tennis Court of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, had in attendance several dignatries, party leaders including four governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
