Governor Adams Eric Oshiomhole of Edo State has laid to rest insinuations on his purported bid for the presidential ticket of his party, the All progressives Congress (APC), saying while he remains committed to the Nigerian project, his focus now is on accelerating the pace of development in Edo State.

In a statement personally signed by him, Governor Oshiomhole said: “following persistent inquiries from friends, political associates and well-meaning Nigerians both at home and abroad over speculations of my interest in the 2015 presidential election, and media comments by my aides, I wish to categorically state that I am not contesting for the 2015 presidential election. My focus now is to continue with our efforts to accelerate the pace of our development programmes to take Edo State to the next level.
“Today, I believe my party, the APC, has enough credible materials to pick from to fly the party’s flag in the 2015 presidential election.
“Anyone conversant with my antecedents will attest that I am not the type who does things half-heartedly. If I had resolved to run in 2015 I would have come out boldly and publicly to declare my intention.
“Recall that in 2007 shortly after the expiration of my tenure, as two-term President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), I similarly came under pressure from well-meaning Nigerians from across all the divides (including foremost human rights lawyer and activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi of blessed memory) to vie for the presidency.
“But convinced that anyone genuinely interested in service could do so in any capacity, I insisted against popular demand not to contest the presidency but the Governorship of Edo State in 2007 and, to the Glory of God, I won. Again, in 2012, I sought re-election and resoundingly won.
“I remain absolutely committed to the Nigerian project.
“I offer this clarification to clear the air once and for all.”

You lied against him, he put you in your apartment in Hell. You are now accusing him of being lame. Where is your evidence?

The earlier claim from Oshobaba was just a mere noise to scare other intents. Everybody knows he has been a loyalist and has always supported the values of GMB

The prayers of TANoids and daft Jonathanians are been returned to sender

Those who feel APC will implode will themselves explode

Even GEJ is afraid to declare his intent........

One by One by God.... From Saraki to Oshiomole, still counting.... All in support of GMB.




Buhari is the CHANGE!
#support

Kwakwanso is next before atiku gets defeated in the primaries.

TAN=Thieves Across Nigeria!!!



Oshobaba for GMB

Thank you Mr. Governor Oshiomole. We all know that you are solidly behind the candidacy of the President In-waiting, Alhaji muhammadu Buhari.
