The Former Governor of Edo State, Senator Adams Oshiomole, has declared the sitting governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki, as politically dead. Oshiomole made the declaration while reacting to the just concluded gubernatorial election in the state which was called in favour of the candidate of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Monday Okpebholo.
Oshiomole said the outcome of the election represented the will of Edo people. “We subscribe to President Jonathan’s school which says the election of even a president is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. And you have the PDP national chairman who is acting with all the crises around the status talking about bloodbath for election.
“You have Obaseki, I watched him insisting it was do-or-die. And when you asked him, he said, if they did, then they would be dead. Now the people have done it. I guess he is politically dead.
“The people have decided that Monday who was elected last year as a senator, has been elected; and now has been declared the governor-elect.
“They now understand if a man can speak like the King of England, but can’t build classrooms and their children are sitting on the floor, where is the value of the English? “If you have signed millions of MoUs, brought all manner of consultants, even though you are one of the consultants anyways. The hospital that was built by Governor Oshiomhole, you converted it to a private hospital. You ran it by consultants and only the rich can go there. The poor have been forbidden from going there. You demolished the other side of the hospital and replaced it with a museum. You think the poor are stupid?”
