The Deputy Governor of Edo State,
Philip Shaibu, on Monday warned that Bola Tinubu, National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC; ex-APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and Kano
State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje are working towards creating a great calamity
in Nigeria.
The Deputy Governor warned Edo
indigenes to stay away from the APC leaders because they will bring calamity to
the state.
The Deputy Governor, who spoke
through his Special Adviser on Media, Benjamin Atu also urged people of the
state to distance themselves from APC governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie
Ize-Iyamu.
He accused them of putting
Nigeria’s unity, nascent democracy, security and economic wellbeing on the
line.
In a statement, the Deputy
Governor said: ‘ the ’Former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and some members of the
Edo State House of Assembly are inviting a far greater calamity on Nigeria.
Their actions have sent wrong signals to members of the international
community.
“The people of Edo State should
distance themselves from Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and
former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “Oshiomhole, Bola
Tinubu and Ganduje as symbols of impunity.”
He also berated Tinubu and
Oshiomhole over their alleged undemocratic conduct over the crisis rocking the
state House of Assembly.
“Oshiomhole, Tinubu and some
members of the Edo State House of Assembly, the political ditch Oshiomhole
plunged himself into, the creation of a polity with high public morality and
the way Obaseki went about meeting the people’s expectations,” he said.
Shaibu also emphasized the
complete subservience of Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu to some alleged masters in
Lagos, Kano and
Imo States amounted to massive
coercion, lies, hypocrisy and masquerading.
‘’Edo State cannot return to
subservience. We must put an end to godfatherism. Governor Godwin Obaseki is an
asset and knows the needs and interests of the common people. Governor Obaseki
also understands the essential features of Edo State and he is acting on this
understanding to change them and make them serve the common people,’’ he said.
