The Edo State Executive Council held a valedictory session in Benin on Wednesday preparatory to handing over to new government on Saturday.
Gov. Adams Oshiomhole who presided over the session appreciated the council members for their selfless service to the people of the state.
Oshiomhole said he was convinced that the council did and gave it best for the people as there were evidences that the members were the least paid in the country but worked the hardest.
He stressed that the development in the state was as a result of the collective industry and commitment of all.
The governor lamented the death of his Principal Private Secretary, Olaitan Oyerinde, in 2012.
The governor, who became very emotional and shed tears, said he also regretted the death of his wife, Clara.
He said she was irreplaceable as she was the only woman who agreed to marry him when he was anonymous, adding, “I miss her.’’
He described her as a counselor and the person who thought him to pray, adding that she was with him in 2008 during his swearing in, but sadly won’t be around when he hands over to a new administration.
