BENIN CITY – Two time Governor of old Midwest and Bendel State, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia has praised the efforts of Governor Adams Oshiomhole in the unprecedented development of Edo State.
Speaking in an interview with Journalists recently, he said. “Governor Oshiomhole is the finest thing that this state has had the pleasure to have in recent years.”
Dr. Ogbemudia who said that he will soon proclaim the Edo Mass Movement (EMM) to look into the future irrespective of party, stated: “ We will ensure or fight or recommend somebody who will carry on where he stops so that development will be a continuous process.”
“No matter what you think about Oshiomhole he has performed more than his predecessor.
“So what do you do with such a man? Put him in the hall of fame so that he can continuously guide the new man to act properly.
“Oshiomhole is expected to be the one to decide who he will support and if he does not want his legacy to be destroyed, he will make sure he gets somebody who will carry on from where he stopped.
“Nobody can say he does not trust Oshiomhole he has been there for six years and the difference is clear”, he stated.
On the Buhari administration that has been inaugurated, Dr. Ogbemudia called on all Nigerians to support him, saying he wants it written by historians in years to come that the coming of the general saved the nation from total collapse.
“To achieve that, all hands must be on deck, the hands of the old generals, the retired ones and those in office”, he said.
