National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie -Oyegun has appealed to the people of Edo State to vote massively for the party’s governorship candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.
Chief Oyegun noted that voting for the APC candidate come September 10, will enhance consolidation of the gains of Governor
Adams Oshiomhole’s unparalleled achievements as the state government in the last eight years.
Oyegun who made the call in Benin City, debunked
claims by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that Oshiomhole’s administration did not achieve anything substantial.
He questioned the PDP’s moral rights to criticise APC government in the state after wasting the people’s time and resources for ten years.
“Obviously, the PDP is suffering from crisis of confidence and self-destruction because they had ten good years to develop Edo State at a time the federal allocations due to the state was highest, coupled with ecological funds that ran into several billions of naira.
“The cry that APC under Governor Oshiomhole did not fix all the roads, Hospitals and Schools across the state by the opposition party lacks credibility because no government can solve all the problems of the people wholesale.
“Granted that Governor Oshiomhole made some genuine mistakes, he is still the best we have produced since the history of this state and region as governor and those who doubt this assertion are those who have their memories to forget the history of our people.
“That is where continuity and solid development comes in. I am convinced that no one is better qualified than Mr. Godwin Obaseki to be the governor of the state after leaning the role of leadership and governance process in the last seven and a half years under Comrade Oshiomhole”, Chief Oyegun added.
