The former governor who lost the primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party ticket and his teeming supporters hosted Comrade Oshiomhole at his country home in Iruekpen yesterday.
According to Prof. Osunbor, the maiden visit of the governor and his entourage to his home was historic and symbolic and noted that, “if we have a governor who is developing the state, why should we complain.”
“The reason I am in politics is to touch the people. My interest is service to the people and our people love you because of what you are doing. The governor has given me the opportunity by assuring me that those projects which I could not complete while I was in office will be completed,” he added.
“I am aware that you have said so many good things about me and I recall a publication in the Vanguard newspaper where you were quoted as saying that Osunbor is a good man but he is in the company of criminals.”
He disclosed that, “Our people love you as you can see them coming to welcome you. We have a good relationship but politics has kept us at a distance. But I know that we have no personal differences.”
In his words, “I hope that this relationship will be sustained and nurtured as from now on and may God give you the wisdom to complete all the projects you have started.”
The Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who was given a warm reception in his remarks, after a closed door meeting which lasted about 40 minutes, said, he was in Iruekpen to inspect the water project executed by the state government in the area.
“Politics aside, you are a complete gentleman. I have always insisted that we are both united with a shared commitment that this state must be developed.
