Godwin Obaseki Has Impoverished The People Of Edo State – APC

The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress have come out to say that the state government cannot fault the party chairman, Jarret Tenebe’s claim that Edo people have been pushed below the poverty line.

The party recently had its say through its Director of Publicity, Orobosa Omo-Ojo, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the only reason the APC governorship candidate, Mike Okpebholo refused to honour the Arise TV’s request for an interview is because Governor Godwin Obaseki has so impoverished people of the state that they cannot afford subscriptions to watch programmes on cable channels.

He added that Tenebe’s statement aptly defines the miserable hardship that has been caused by the PowerPoint administration of the PDP in Edo State.

His words, “With exactly 21 days to the watershed governorship election in Edo State, the All Progressives Congress is glad to tell Nigerians that Edo people have demonstrated their unequivocal decision to take back the state from the present political bandits that have plundered their commonwealth.

Their resolve is strengthened by the infrastructural decay across the state, which has exacerbated the socioeconomic crises caused by the wanton neglect of the rural dwellers.

Therefore, Edo people can only score Governor Godwin Obaseki and his People’s Democratic Party with the works done or undone in tangible pillars such as roads, schools, hospitals, agriculture, land administration, culture, and relationship with our treasured traditional institutions when they will be casting their votes for freedom on September 21, 2024.

They will not be confounded about the difficulties and dangers they are presently facing or be deceived about the prosperity they enjoyed during the eight years of APC administration under the leadership of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. They will rationalise these glaring contrasts on September 21, 2024, to reclaim and reset Edo to the past glory that APC attained in the state.

The statement made by our State Chairman, Jarret Tenebe, that Edo State has been pushed below the poverty line by Governor Obaseki and as such, the majority of the poor rural dwellers are unable to buy Android phones or data, aptly defines the miserable hardship that has been caused by the PowerPoint administration of the PDP in Edo State.

No analysis of junk data coming from any onlooker, observing from his armchair in Lagos, Abuja, or anywhere outside Edo State, will abort the plan of stakeholders to own their destiny. Edo people will not allow rent seekers to peddle plagiarised figures and data that do not reflect the physical conditions in Edo State.

It is unethical for pseudo-commentators to make spurious judgements on the state of affairs in Edo, except for someone who has gone around the 18 local government areas. In this regard, the APC is inviting independent journalists, to join the APC campaign train to the 192 wards to gather organic and substantiated data on the local economic development from Edo rural dwellers.”
