Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has been restless ever since last week when the
Presidency sent a delegate to inspect one of his projects in the State.
He said the opposition party is having a nightmare being
confronted with facts about the role he played in the establishment of the
modular refinery in Ologbo Local Government Area of the State.
The Governor spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and
Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie on Sunday, adding that the refinery was
getting closer to being completed.
“After last week’s visit of a Federal Government delegation
to the Edo Modular Refinery in Ologbo, the APC is now clearly confused as their
campaign seems to have been deflated by the stellar performance of Governor
Obaseki and the near-total acceptance Obaseki enjoys from Edo people,” he said.
He maintained that the truth about his administration’s
performance will continue to dwarf and ultimately blot out falsehood and
propaganda of the opposition party.
He explained that the Presidency sent emissaries to Ologbo
in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of the state last week, to inspect the
refinery project.
According to him, the government was satisfied with what
they saw on the ground and “showered encomiums on Governor Obaseki for the
landmark achievement.”
He explained that during the visit, the seed investment of
N700 million which the Obsseki administration made to kick-off this project was
eloquently highlighted
“Understandably, this event gave the opposition sleepless
nights and this feeble lie is the response they have decided to deploy in an
attempt to pacify their supporters who have been questioning their jaundiced
criticisms of Governor Obaseki and transferring their allegiance in large
numbers to the ‘wake and see governor,” he said.
He was reacting to an earlier statement by the APC Media
Campaign Council Chairman in Edo State, John Mayaki, who had told Governor
Obaseki not to “take glory” for the refinery project.
