Oshiomhole Kneeling Was To Deceive – PDP

By Ikhili Ebalu, Benin City

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole’s plea for forgiveness before Benin Enigies for bringing Governor Godwin Obaseki to government has been described as a way of deceiving the people by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chris Nehikhare who disclosed this during a press conference in Benin City said Oshiomhole’s campaign of calumny against Ize-Iyamu in 2016 is still fresh in the minds of Edo people.

Nehikare added that Edo people cannot trust the APC and Oshiomhole because the latter had during the 2016 Edo governorship election disparaged and publicly campaigned against the APC candidate for the forthcoming September 19 Edo governorship poll.

Nehikhare who described Oshiomhole’s as a man full of deceit, said the former national chairman has again come out to beg Edo people for forgiveness, which according to him is another ploy to deceive the people.

He said Oshiomhole cannot regret supporting, Mr. Godwin Obaseki during the 2016 election and canvassing support for the APC candidate whom he told the people in 2016 to reject.

Oshiomhole had while addressing members of the party on Sunday night in Benin city declared that he sold a bad product to Edo State in 2016, regretting his action and promising to right his wrong during the forthcoming Edo governorship election.

According to Oshiomhole, “I have made my honest mistakes. Only God is perfect. I am now 68 years old. I have come to apologize for the mistake of supporting Obaseki in 2016. I am in Edo to repair my mistakes.”

The PDP spokesman who wondered how the same Oshiomhole would now make a U-turn thinking he would succeed in selling the same candidate he warned cannot be trusted with the number one office in the state.

“We also noticed yesterday that the former chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole while apologising to Edo people, knelt down for forgiveness.

“We are not amused and we find it ridiculous that a man who stood on a podium four years ago to condemn his candidate for the September 19 governorship election in Edo state has resurfaced singing his praises.

“But the same man is telling us he made a mistake four years ago. Edo people should ask, can this man be trusted?  Edo people should not take him seriously.

“In 2008, he talked about ending godfatherism but we all know it was a ruse; as his present day actions do not suggest what he said then and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

“Edo people are wiser now, and we are determined to vote for someone that has performed. The Obaseki-led administration has  made reforms in all sectors of Edo state. 

“The judicial workers are satisfied; salaries and pensions are paid as and when due. These are what make a government,” Nehikare said.
