I guest Obaseki is politically dead, says Oshiomhole
Former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has said Governor Godwin Obaseki is politically dead.
Oshiomhole stated this while reacting to the outcome of the just concluded governorship election in the state during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
On Sunday, INEC declared Monday Okpebholo of the APC as the winner of the election.
But during the interview, Oshiomole said the outcome of the election represented the will of Edo people.
“We subscribe to President Jonathan’s school which says the election of even a president is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. And you have the PDP national chairman who is acting with all the crises around the status talking about bloodbath for election.
“You have Obaseki, I watched him on Channels insisting it was do-or-die. And when you asked him, he said, if they did, then they would be dead. Now the people have done it. I guest he is politically dead.
“The people have decided that Sunday who was elected last year as a senator, has been elected; and now has been declared the governor-elect.
“They now understand if a man can speak like the King of England, but can’t built classrooms and their children are sitting on the floor, where is the value of the English?
“If you have signed millions of MoUs, brought all manner of consultants, even though you are one of the consultants anyways. The hospital that was built by Governor Oshiomhole you converted it to a private hospital. You ran it by consultants and only the rich can go there. The poor have been forbidden from going there. You demolished the other side of the hospital and replaced it with a museum. You think the poor are stupid?”
