The Wrongs Oshiomhole Has Done In Edo Must Be Corrected – Chief Dan Orbih

The Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Council for Edo Governorship election, Chief Dan Orbih has come out to say that the indiscretion of the ex-National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is the reason APC is divided.

Chief Dan Orbih revealed this during a campaign rally Wednesday in Ward 3 Etsako East Local Government Area of the State.

According to him, Adams Oshiomhole has infected APC with political coronavirus and all the wrong he has done must be corrected.

He added that Edo residents are not asking for too much from their leaders and the money is surely available to move the state forward.

His words, “Since Adams Oshiomhole started sowing the seed of division in APC, Adams infected APC with political Coronavirus. His indiscretion has led to the disintegration of APC in Nigeria”

“Edo is not Lagos State. We must change anything that has been done wrongly”.

“Our people are not asking for too much. The money is available, but only a few people want to take over the resources”.

Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole (born 4 April 1952), is a Nigerian politician and the former national chairman of the All Progressive Congress. He had previously served as the president of Nigeria Labour Congress from 1999 to 2007 and the executive governor of Edo State, Nigeria from 2008 to 2016.

He is Catholic and his Christian name is Eric. After his secondary education, he obtained a job with the Arewa Textiles Company, where he was elected union secretary. He became a full-time trade union organizer in 1975.

In April 2007, Adams Oshiomhole ran for Governor of Edo State under the Action Congress Party, with which his Labour Party had entered a strategic alliance. Oserheimen Osunbor of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was declared the winner. However, the AC contested the election on the basis of various irregularities.

On 20 March 2008, an Edo State election tribunal nullified the election of Oserheimen Osunbor and declared Oshiomhole the winner. On 11 November 2008, a federal Appeal Court sitting in Benin City upheld the ruling of the state’s elections petitions tribunal, declaring Oshiomole to be the Governor of Edo State. The decision was based on several voting irregularities.
