Governor of Edo State, Godwin
Obaseki, has accused the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of relying on thugs and violence to win
elections.
According to him, the former
Governor never won elections on performance.
Obaseki stated this through his
Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, in a
statement on Monday in reaction to Oshiomhole’s
earlier statement where he said he didn’t teach the Governor and his deputy,
Phillip Shuaibu how to lose elections.
The Governor urged Oshiomhole to
concentrate on winning elections by the performance of the party and not
relying on thugs and violence for electoral victory.
The statement said that
Oshiomhole was only trying hard to cover up his inordinate ambition to be the
ultimate godfather in Edo State and usurp the will of the majority of ordinary
Edo people.
According to him, “Even his
allegory of politics being like a forest with dangerous animals is a poor
excuse to continue to perpetuate thuggery and the keep the collective patrimony
under the control of a few greedy and violent people in the name of winning
units and ward elections.
“Good governance remains the
surest path towards winning elections especially when you are committed to free
and fair and credible elections devoid of the kind of violence witnessed in
recent elections in the country.
“So instead of trying to pacify
the violent and the lawless just because you want to win elections, Oshiomhole
should support the stellar performance being displayed by Governor Godwin
Obaseki in Edo State, that way, he will not need the services of his thugs to
win the next election.”
