A former Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has
vowed not to rest until his successor, Godwin Obaseki is removed from office in
the forthcoming governorship election in the State.
Oshiomhole spoke to a crowd of All Progressives Congress,
APC, supporters who received him on his arrival from Abuja at the weekend.
Oshiomhole lamented that Obaseki, who he nominated to
succeed him in 2016, allegedly became a snake and started fighting party
members by destroying their properties and arresting them unwarrantedly.
“I have come home for only one project. I am not going back
to Abuja until the project is completed. I came back home not to rest, but to
work,” Oshiomhole said.
“The governor was demolishing the houses of our members
while some were being jailed for trump up charges; these are the people who
fought for him to become governor.
“I begged those who were being persecuted to take it easy,
that they shouldn’t burn the house we all laboured to build because we want to
smoke out the snake. Now, the snake has been smoked out of the house.
“A few weeks earlier, the snake said APC was his house and
that he was not leaving. Less than 72 hours after saying this, he left.
“If we had burnt the house because the snake was giving us a
problem, we would all have been homeless by now,” he added.
Recall that Obaseki had resigned from the APC after a
meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari last month.
His resignation came after his disqualification from
participating in the party’s gubernatorial primaries.
The APC screening committee had disqualified Obaseki due to
what it called defective certificate.
He later joined the PDP where he participated in the party’s
primary election and emerged as the party’s candidate for the September 2020
governorship election.
Pastor Osagie Ize-iyamu will bear the APC’s flag in the
governorship election after he was declared winner of the Edo State party
primaries with a total of 27,838 votes.

Sometimes, i hardly believe what power has really made some people to become. Power indeed corrupts but absolute power in the hands of power hungry politicians like Adams Oshimole, i can say will only lead them to disrepute. I hope that if Obaseki wins, Adams will leave the state for the next four years. Leaders?
