Gandollar Video In Benin: Ize-Iyamu Hits Back

By Ikhili Ebalu, Benin City

Hours after a video depicting Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano surfaced in Benin supposedly collecting dollars emerged in Benin, the All Progressives Congress, APC has made a retort with a charge to Governor Godwin Obaseki to reveal how much dollars he spent to pick the ticket of the PDP.

In a statement endorsed by the APC’s director of communication and media, Mr. John Mayaki, Governor Obaseki was also asked to reveal the amount of state funds he allegedly wasted on his “ill-thought and treacherous Oshiomhole-must-go’ project.”

He said: “In a desperate move to maintain relevance—as his name had been fast leaving the lips of Edo people, and his significance fading in their minds—he has compelled the state agency to display a disputed video involving Governor Umar Ganduje of Kano State.”

 “This irresponsibility and desperation flout all the principles of decorum, decency, and honesty enshrined and expected of a gubernatorial personality. It shows, clearly, Obaseki’s lack of character and good spirit. As an aspirant seeking a second-term return, Obaseki further casts himself in the negative light with this thoughtless act.”

“Instead of providing answers to this, and the amount of state funds he wasted on the Oshiomhole-must-go project he actively pursued for nearly two years at the detriment of governance in Edo State, Obaseki is seeking means to deflect attention from himself and distract the people with other inconsequential matters.”

“Offered with a platform such as a screen at the heart of Ring Road in Benin City, the State’s capital, one would have thought that the Governor would display his achievements and records in office to the people. That he settled to use such a platform for cheap blackmail reveals the failure of his tenure and the kind of campaign he intends to run.”

 “Mr. Obaseki and the PDP have run out of wits and their campaign of calumny, bitterness, and division, as opposed to one driven by fact-based records and policy discussions governed by civility will only strengthen the resolve of Edo people to reject them in September.”
