Others in the entourage were the chairman of the PDP Campaign Council for Edo governorship election, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers, Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa state, Seyi Makinde of Oyo state, South-South Vice Chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih and Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State. Oba Ewuare in his charge urged the governors to ensure that they act what they have been preaching about the ills of godfatherism even as he advised Governor Obaseki to ensure he acts as governor of the whole of Edo state. He said; “I thank our ancestors for hearing our prayers, thank God for ensuring that peace reigned. If you will recall when I invited the distinguished political actors of all the political parties particularly the two most active political actors, I also said why were they being called gladiators as if they were in the coliseum in Rome? I asked if they had been to the coliseum where they killed themselves at all cost, where the winner is the only one that is alive to claim victory and all the others dead? I said this is not the coliseum, this is not a winner takes all or do or die affair and I did say that at the end of the day, it should be no victor any vanquish and that both sides should consider it win-win for everybody. I pleaded that the winner must accommodate the other persons.
