The award of best performing governor of the year 2019 bestowed on Edo State Governor Mr Godwin Obaseki, on the fifth of October 2019, at the Eagles Square, in Abuja, by the Nigeria Union of Teachers NUT is generating reaction across the state.

As a chieftain of the All progressives Congress, APC  and a former PDP  governorship candidate election  in the year 2012 in  Edo state, Major General Charles Airhiavbere  Retired,  said the administration of Governor Godwin  Obaseki has failed Edo peoples in all area of  development, saying it cannot win the best performing governor in education giving to him by the national leadership of Nigeria Union of Teachers NUT.

He made this statement while speaking to newsmen in Benin city, stating that state has been moving backwards in terms of infrastructural development in the Education sector across the state with no new school building and constant closure of institution in the past three years of Governor Godwin Obaseki in office.

The state commissioner for communication  and orientation to Edo state govt,  Barrs Paul Ohonbamu described the word of the Airhiavbere towards the governor's award as an height of envy and hatred for good things. Ohonbamu says Governor Godwin Obaseki achievement in the education sector as shown to the world in general, and NUT is not a body that anybody can give money to and  get an award from them, as Mr Godwin Obaseki has done well in Educational system in the state.
