Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state, has said there is no ‘big cake’ to share again in the country.
Obaseki stated this while hosting some presidential aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benin on Monday.
The governor, who said the next president must be someone Nigerians can trust to bake another cake, stressed that except the PDP rises to the occasion, it may be difficult to fix the country’s problems.
He said: “Forty years ago, we had a big cake to share but today that cake has disappeared,”
“Whoever aspires to be the president of this country must be somebody that Nigerians are ready to give ingredients to bake a bigger cake for us all.
