In a fiery speech at an APC ward rally in Uromi, Esan North East LGA, former Edo State Governor, senator Adams Oshiomhole issued a stern warning to the current governor, Godwin Obaseki.
Oshiomhole advised the APC governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to be a “governor of the people” and accused Obaseki of refusing to allow the APC to use a primary school that Oshiomhole had built with public funds during his tenure.
Oshiomhole threatened that if Obaseki continues on this path, the APC will deny him the right to use federal infrastructure like roads and airports. He recalled that as governor, he had allowed the PDP’s Ogbemudia to use public facilities, but Obaseki has not extended the same courtesy.
Oshiomhole urged the people of Uromi to vote for the APC, stating that Obaseki has failed to fulfill his campaign promises, including the creation of 200,000 jobs, building a mini-stadium, and developing the Gelegele seaport.
The APC deputy governorship candidate, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, echoed Oshiomhole’s sentiments, saying this election is a “must-win” for the party. Okpebholo then outlined his 5-point agenda for Uromi, which includes addressing insecurity, improving education, infrastructure, healthcare, and agricultural development.
