Governor Obaseki has completely abandoned governance for his selfish interest- Edo APC
By Titus Oise, Benin-City
The All Progressives Congress, APC in Edo state has urged Governor Godwin Obaseki to stop day-dreaming and face reality by paying greater attention to the socio-economic issues affecting Edo people for which he was elected, instead of wasting time and resources, politicking like someone seeking elective office.
The party said it is forced for the umpteenth time to call Governor Obaseki to order because his hypocritical political escapades which have failed on all fronts, aptly demonstrate cluelessness and insensitivity to the plight of Edo people on his part.
According to the party,“If Governor Obaseki has forgotten his vows, pledges and oath of office to fulfil the many ludicrous promises he made in his MEGA manifesto, we are reminding him that the day of reckoning for him to account for his wasted mandate is fast approaching”.
In a terse statement issued by the Assistant State Publicity Secretary of the party, Victor Osehobo, the APC said it was strange that Governor Obaseki is more concerned with doctoring a delegates list of a party of which he is only an online member, adding that now that the PDP NEC has cut him to size, he should be wiser.
The statement said it was alarming that this is even after courts have pronounced that those who escorted the governor to the PDP are not members of the party, yet he has has gone ahead to be parading himself as a leader of the party by giving false hopes to those who unfortunately still put their trust in him.
The APC said: “From all indications, our Governor has completely abandoned governance. The only thing going on in his mind is how to actualize his dream of entrenching himself and personalize the PDP in Edo, by crushing anyone perceived as capable of hindering him.
“That is the reason why the governor no longer resides in the Edo state capital but now sleeps and wakes up in the homes of PDP officials and leaders, in Abuja, especially now that he has fallen out with his godfather, Governor Wike of Rivers state”.
“The governor must realise that Edo people are tired of his audio governance style without any tangible project on ground. With the rainy season just kicking off, floods and erosion have already started devastating the State capital, as many have become displaced and homeless.
The APC said that, “Governor Obaseki should immediately retrace his steps and stop day-dreaming about any political future in Edo state after his second term, because his zero performance as a governor for eight years is a bad recommendation for his resume”
