Edo Election would eclipse Oshiomole's Political career Says Obaseki

As preparation is ongoing for the Edo state governorship election next week, Governor Godwin Obaseki has said the election would eclipse Adams Oshiomhole’s political career.

Obaseki said this while addressing supporters and party members in Oredo local government area during the governorship election campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday, September 5, 2020, said the forthcoming governorship election in the state is a contest with Oshiomhole.

The governor said Oshiomhole would be dealt with during the election because he does not respect the people of Edo State.

Explaining the genesis of the fight between him and his predecessor, Obaseki, who is the PDP candidate in the upcoming election said, “ As a sitting governor, Oshiomhole decides to pick who will represent me in my house of assembly. Can you imagine the insult?.
“Because he believes, in his own mind, that Benin people are like chickens. When you throw corn, they will run after the corn.

“This election is a contest with Oshiomhole. 

We have dealt with him at the national level, we will bury him politically in this election; because he has no regard for Benin people, he has no regard for us in Oredo, and we will show him that he is nothing.”

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu enjoys the support of Oshiomhole, the former governor of the state.

....Vows to take action on criminals  I receive daily security reports on the attacks on critical national infrastructure, and it is very clear that those behind them want this administration to fail. Whoever wants the destruction of the system will soon have the shock of their lives. We’ve given them enough time. I received a briefing today from the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on the series of attacks on their facilities nationwide. These attacks are totally unacceptable, and we will not allow those behind them to achieve their evil objectives. I have assured INEC that we will make available to them everything they need to operate efficiently, so that no one will say we don’t want to go, or that we want a third term. There will be no excuse for failure. We will meet all of INEC’s demands. In the area of security, we have changed the Service Chiefs and the Inspector-General, and we are demanding that they rise fully to the challenge...
