BENIN CITY - Edo State Governor Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has warned that there is no hiding place for those who underdeveloped Edo State as they must account for their misrule.
The governor who stated this in Benin City during an interview with newsmen advised the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to concentrate on patching the leaking umbrella of their party which has been torn into shreds.
According to Oshiomhole who was reacting to the PDP’s accusation that he gave N300 Million to Alhaji Asari Dokubo to campaign for him, “the PDP have always accused every one that supports me.”
He said it has been the philosophy of their party to share money and they think that applies to others.
“ Foremost elder statesman and two time governor of Edo State, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia expressed his support for me because at his age he cannot lie against Edo State when asked by reporters about the development going on.
He had said that political party aside, he will not speak against the truth . He is a PDP man and still is a PDP man,” the governor said.
According to him “the Esogban of Benin, Chief David Edebiri and the Benin Forum said they have moved beyond ethnic politics to endorse my second tenure.
The Oba of Benin acknowledged what we are doing and the impact my government has made in Benin kingdom. He did not campaign for any political party but acknowledge that things have changed in the Kingdom.”
”A two time senator, Oyofor condemned the PDP for failure and ‘former governor of Edo State Chief John Oyegun said he was shocked at what we have accomplished in three years and the Nigeria Labour Congress wanted to celebrate their own and like cowards they used another political party to try to stop it. Over 100 Enigie’s endorsed me on account of proven evidence, including market women and students and yet they are making baseless accusations,” he added.
He disclosed that two weeks after the student union government SUG of higher institutions with their presidents and secretary’s in the state endorsed his second tenure bid, the PDP picked some students without the SUG president or secretary who endorsed the PDP Candidate
Comrade Oshiomhole said, “we are part of the Niger Delta, the heart of the South South and those who pushed Nigeria to adopt amnesty and drew attention of the national and international community to the deprivation in the region will come to monitor those who want to rig the election according to law.”
