Edo People Are Interested About Money You Stole, Not Your Knees – PDP Tells Oshiomhole

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, immediate past governor of Edo State and former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been told to offered explanation to the elders and people of the State, the state’s money he allegedly siphoned when he recently visited and begged them for forgiveness.

Edo State PDP Governorship Campaign Council (EPDPGCC) in a press statement, signed on its behalf by the State PDP Publicity Secretary, Chris Osa Nehikhare, stated that rather than going about kneeling down to appeal to Edo People, he should tell them the whereabouts of the several billions of naira he stole from the state’s coffers.

He siphoned billions of naira from Edo State, “for which he is being dragged to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),” the PDP alleged.

Oshiomhole had recently, visited the Edo Association of Enigies (Dukes) in company of APC gubernatorial candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and other party bigwigs, with his two knees on the ground begging for forgiveness for the heavily damaging remarks he made about him (Ize-Iyamu) in 2016, which has since become an albatross in the gubernatorial ambition of the former secretary to the Edo State Government.

The Campaign urged the “disgraced former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, to stop deceiving himself as the elders and leaders of Edo state cannot be swayed by his pretenses and deceptive genuflections.

The Obaseki Campaign further described Oshiomhole as a self-confessed liar and political swindler, who can no longer enjoy the trust and confidence of the people, including members of his party, the APC, who not only suspended him but kicked him out as a national chairman on account of his penchant for deception.

“It is sad that Oshiomhole thinks that he can use his antics, orchestrations and stage-managed kneeling to suddenly grip the elders and leaders of Edo state in his voodoo of deception, to accept the same individual he exposed as a fake pastor and treasury looter, who is only fit for “night meetings” and should not be trusted with the position of the governor of Edo State.

“Oshiomhole ought to have also brought the already discredited APC candidate, Ize-Iyamu, along with him to kneel and plead for forgiveness over his alleged atrocities.

“Furthermore, the sacked APC national chairman, ought to have also used the occasion to offer explanation to the elders of Edo State how he allegedly siphoned billions of naira Edo State funds, for which he is being dragged to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“It is unfortunate that Oshiomhole has turned himself into a wretched clown of a derelict circus, particularly as the people of Edo State can see through his selfish shenanigans and are not ready to dance to his deceptive tune.

“By trying to go back to his vomit, the former APC national chairman has confirmed that his intention is only to deceive. The people of Edo State know that Oshiomhole’s pain is that Governor Godwin Obaseki, upon assumption of office, refused to allow him to have unfettered access to the resources of Edo state which Governor Obaseki has continued to apply towards the development of the state.

“The Edo people are already aware that Oshiomhole is desperate to foist Ize-Iyamu, who, giving his antecedents as exposed by Oshiomhole, will be ready to grant him unrestricted access to continue looting the state’s treasury.

“We counsel Oshiomhole to stop deceiving himself and perish the dream of pillaging the treasury as the people of Edo State will never trade the focused, accountable, transparent and development-driven government under Governor Godwin Obaseki for deception, corruption, incompetence and disregard for value, which Oshiomhole, Ize-Iyamu and the APC have come to represent,” the statement, added.
