The governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomole has yesterday revealed real reasons why Jonathan Administration must go!
Vanguard
reports that the governor has highlighted why he thinks the present
government should not try to have a comeback in 2015. The governor who
declared that the Goodluck Jonathan administration must go made it known
that quite a lot of Edo indigenes have been killed under this present
administration. He attributed his reason to the alleged refusal of the
President in giving ecological funds to areas devastated by erosion in
the state and many other APC states.

The
governor made it known that he regrets the fact that the President has
been using the lives of many Nigerians and Edo people in particular
despite the 95 per cent votes he enjoyed in the state in 2011, he has
vowed that the President and his party the PDP, would be voted out come
2015.
In lambasting the FG further, Oshiomole talked about the
fallen prices of oil and the austerity measures. He queried saying: “
what did they do with our money when oil was N108 per barrel. They said
we should tighten our belt but they gave us no belt, that is anti
people”.
The Governor declared this at the traditional Urhokpota
Ground Ring Road Benin City, where he received the former Minister of
State for Works and PDP Chieftain, Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi and over two
thousand of his supporters into the APC. About 20 palace chiefs led by
Chief Jackson Igbinoba, and different PDP groups one of them led by
Chief Arala Osula, dumped the party for the APC.
Praising the
achievements of governor Oshiomole, Ogiemwonyi said he left the PDP
after its failure in fixing economic, security and other problems facing
our beloved country. However, in receiving the decampees into the
party, Oshiomhole gave reasons why Nigerians must vote the PDP led
Federal government out. He said:
“What is buried in the name of
PDP can never resurrect because the Bible says, he who die in sin shall
perish and languish in hell. And because PDP died in sin, they killed,
they embezzled our money, they dehumanized our people, they enveloped
Benin with flood, converted our young one to prostitution and reduced
Edo from the heart beat to a part of the country that was now remember
only by reference to very negative headlines.
“ It will take PDP
more than a hundred years to pay reparation to Edo people. If anybody
imagine what has happened in this state for six years, then you can
better calculate how much they stole from the treasury of this state and
how many miles they set up backwards in terms of where were are
supposed to be. And that is why when the President came here to say that
Edo will fall, I said well who is speaking. Can a man who is on the
ground speak to a man who is on his feet?
“ PDP has already been
fallen and buried in Edo state many many years ago. Yes in the last
election we asked our people to vote on the basic of certain sentiments,
and the PDP at the Presidential level won 95 per cent of the votes. But
now Edo people are asking, what do we have to show for it. The erosion
caused by PDP at Queen Ede has destroyed the schools built for Edo
child. That erosion is destroying the Catholic Church, it has destroyed
several houses, killed many of our people.
“ Federal PDP shared
money to PDP states including states where the President lost election,
they did not give one dim to the people of Edo state. Our crime because
we voted wrongly. In Auchi, erosion have swept away more then 50 per
cent of the houses and swept away others, they shared the ecology money
they gave no dim to the people of Auchi. In Esan Central and West,
erosion has destroyed a number of communities, PDP produced leaders in
Esan land they did not bring one dime to deal with erosion in Esan land,
but they gave money to Delta, they gave money to Bayelsa, they gave
money to Cross River, they gave money to Niger, Jigawa, Kaduna and
others.
“ What is our offence because we voted wrongly? So when
we say APC, Change PDP, Change Jonathan it is informed by evidence. We
must change both the party and the driver. PDP has failed for sixteen
years they should leave.
“And let me be very specific, if we had not
removed PDP in Edo we wold not have experienced the change we are seeing
today in Edo. If we remove PDP from Abuja the way we removed them from
Edo we will have power, universities will not be closing for six months,
they will not be distributing SURE-P through PDP leaders, they will not
be devaluing the currency and they will not be acting like small gods”,
the governor said.
