The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief
John Odigie Oyegun appealed to the people of the state to vote
massively for the party’s governorship candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki,
comes September 10th in order to consolidate the gains of Governor
Adams Oshiomhole’s unparalleled achievements in the last seven and
half years.
Oyegun made the call in Benin City, the state capital while debunking
opposition claims that Oshiomhole administration did not achieve
anything substantial but robustly rich in propaganda. He questioned
the PDP’s moral rights to criticise APC government in the state after
wasting the people’s time and resources for ten years.
“Obviously, the PDP is suffering from crisis of confidence and
self-destruction because they had ten good years to develop Edo State
at a time the federal allocations due to the state was highest,
coupled with ecological funds that ran into several billion of naira.
“The cry that APC under Governor Oshiomhole did not fix all the roads,
Hospitals and Schools across the state by the opposition party lacks
credibility because no government can solve all the problems of the
people wholesale.
“Granted that Governor Oshiomhole made some genuine mistakes, he is
still the best we have produced since the history of this state and
region as governor and those who doubt this assertion are those who
have their memories to forget the history of our people.
“That is where continuity and solid development comes in. I am
convinced that no one is better qualified than Mr. Godwin Obaseki to
be the governor of the state after leaning the role of leadership and
governance process in the last seven and a half years under Governor
Oshiomhole’s leadership”, the national chairman said.
