The Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Media Projects, Crusoe Osagie, has expressed confidence that Edo people will stand with the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, and vote massively for candidates of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the State House of Assembly election slated for Saturday, March 11, in spite of the antics of a former governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole.
Osagie said a recent statement by Oshiomhole on the fate of Governor Obaseki in the Edo State House of Assembly polls has exposed the former governor’s “insidious plan to oust the current governor through impeachment”.
“We are, however, confident that, like it happened in 2020, when Edo people stood with the governor despite the bullying and intimidation by Oshiomhole and his paymasters, Edo people will again rise in defence of the governor at the polls on Saturday, March 11; vote massively for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and elect a House controlled by the PDP,” he said.
The governor’s aide said Obaseki has never placed his confidence in any man or godfather but only in God and the people.
“It is also curious that it is Oshiomhole who has come forward with the agenda of the APC and not any of the candidates. One wonders if Oshiomhole will be a member of the Edo State House of Assembly after the polls. This, obviously, points to who and where the instructions will be issued if the party’s candidates are mistakenly elected into the House,” Osagie said.
“Edo people can see the handwriting on the wall and we are certain that they will troop out en masse to vote candidates of the PDP in the election to sustain the developmental strides of the Governor Obaseki-led government,” he said.
