Edo PDP Asks Oshiomhole To Accept Election Defeat

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Edo State has charged Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to accept his serial defeat in the hands of his former political godson, Godwin Obaseki. While asking Oshiomhole to accept election defeat in Obaseki’s hands, the party also asked the former governor to stop what it described as unwarranted attacks on the new administration.

The State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chris Osa Nehikhare, in a statement, said Oshiomhole’s latest swipe at the governor over an alleged N18bn loan request, delivered through Oshiomhole’s media associate Mayaki, demonstrated an acute obsession with the propagation of falsehood, lies and alternative facts to curry public sympathy after a most humiliating defeat at the polls.

Why PDP Wants Oshiomhole To Accept Election Defeat

According to Nehikhare, “It is quite unfortunate that we are compelled to once again attend to the rantings from the camp of the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who has grown fond of Edo State Government treasury and cannot fathom to bear the pain that he would never have access to the till, with which the governor has continued to pursue developmental projects for the progress and advancement of the state.

“Oshiomhole has registered his frustration once again through the tirade of John Mayaki, who has admitted that his write-ups are “fatally wrong and unable to pass credibility check” and that he allows his political interest and not his judgement as a professional journalist guide him! It is obvious that Mayaki is vigorously trying to rescue his obviously failing journalism career. Shame that his journalism has been reduced to only one story, which is the propagation of lies against the Governor. We forgave him before, doesn’t mean we will tolerate his lies! 

On the allegations paraded through Mayaki, Nehikhare dismissed the claims, stating that the Governor is not profligate like Oshiomhole.

Besides asking Oshiomhole to accept election defeat, Nehikhare said that the lack of critical thinking in the camp of the former governor was telling with the inconsistencies in the allegations, as it was claimed that the governor was taking the loan with the plan to pay back with the state’s 13 percent crude oil derivation credits, but in the same line of thought, the writer alleged that there was no clear repayment plan.

Nehikhare said: “The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, is not profligate like Oshiomhole and this much is evident from the governor’s leadership style as well as the manner in which he has managed the state’s resources to the admiration of local and foreign partners, who continue to commend the prudent, transparent and judicious allocation of resource in pursuit of sustainable development and economic advancement in the state.”

“There is no denying that Edo people are tired of the lies and falsehoods propagated by Oshiomhole and his minions. It’s high time they embrace the Resetting Agenda of the Governor Obaseki and the PDP! 

“Edo must move forward ! “ he concluded
