Obaseki is politically d£ad – Oshiomhole

Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has declared that current Governor Godwin Obaseki is “politically dad” following the outcome of the just-concluded governorship election in the state.  Oshiomhole made the remark during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today while discussing the election results. On Sunday, September 22, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Monday Okpebholo, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the election. Oshiomhole said the result reflected the will of the people of Edo State. When asked about his reaction to the controversy surrounding the APC candidate’s victory, Oshiomhole dismissed concerns, reaffirming that the election outcome was a clear expression of the people’s choice. He suggested that Obaseki’s political influence has significantly diminished in the state. He said;  No, the acting chairman of PDP talked about defending votes with his blood, because Edo people will sacrifice their blood for anybody.We subscribe to President Jonathans 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 on Channels insisting it was do-or-die. And when you asked him,  he said, if they did, then they would be dad. Now the people have done it. I guess he is politically dad.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 cant 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?  The post Obaseki is politically dad Oshiomhole appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
