Edo PDP Blasts Oshiomhole, Vows to reclaim ‘mandate’
The leadership of Edo state, Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) yesterday ruled out the possibility of honouring the open invitation from Governor Godwin Obaseki to participate in the government.
State PDP Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, who disclosed this at a press conference to x-ray the eight years administration of former Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, said the party cannot be part and parcel of an administration whose tenure will terminate at the end of the state election petition tribunal
Orbih who decried the huge debt profile legacy of Governor Oshiomhole, said the state currently rank the third highest indebted state in Nigeria
He said not less than N1trillion accrued to the immediate past administration as federal statutory allocation and internally generated revenue in the last eight years while the sum of N300billion was borrowed with escalating interest rate
The PDP state chairman also accused Oshiomhole of lavishing N500million every month on undisclosed security challenges adding that besides denying the judiciary and Legislative arms financial independence, Governor Oshiomhole engaged mass acquisition of properties in and across the state
” The only legacy Oshiomhole left behind is that he succeeded in providing students of politics and history materials on nemesis of bad government, propaganda and failed promised”
On his part, the PDP governorship candidate in the September 28th, 2016 election, Pastor Ize- Iyamu Osagie re-assured the people of his unflinching resolved to recover what he termed the ‘stolen mandate’ at the state election petition tribunal in the face of present intimidation, bribe and financial inducement
” We are not asking the Tribunal to cancel the election. We are saying we win the election . Not only PDP voted for me, Edo people voted for me . We are following the matter to a logical conclusion”
