THE Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has urged Nigerians to vote for change in order to strengthen the nation’s economy and democracy, which he said the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party had weakened since it took over leadership of the country in 1999.

Oshiomhole, who spoke in Auchi, said that the ruling party had disappointed Nigerians, having failed to facilitate major infrastructural developments in power,
education, health and other sectors.

He said, “They have not fixed power. They have not fixed education. They have not fixed the health sector. They have not fixed the roads. They have dashed the expectation of the youths and they have polluted the political atmosphere and they have weakened the foundation of our national unity.

“They have re-partitioned the country along religious divide and along ethnic divide. They have played brothers against brothers, sisters against sisters; they are buffeting us with primordial sentiments in place of issues of development and the country is weaker today than it was before.”

Oshiomhole said that Nigerians needed people who fought to keep the nation together in order to “re-fix what PDP has broken.”

He said, “Nigerians should vote for change, even PDP needs change, you can see the internal contradictions within the PDP is like a weak fabric; the more you patch it, the more it gets torn and after 16 years, even
PDP will agree that they haven’t delivered on the promises of democracy.”

He argued that the private sector had lost
its vitality and that the country needed urgent revitalisation to check the high rate of unemployment.

He also frowned at the state of the economy due to fallen oil price.

“The private sector is dead and this is why you are not getting adverts for products. And you are not going to be able to create jobs if you do not revive the private sector; as you can see, even though between 1999 till date, the oil sector has performed better than it was in the previous 10 years,” Oshiomhole said.

On the security challenges, he lamented that the Nigerian army, in spite of its successes in foreign assignments, had not met the expectations of the citizens in the fight against terrorism.

The governor said, “All of a sudden, the Nigerian Army that is reputed all over the world to have fought and to be helping to secure neighbouring countries like Sierra
Leone, Liberia, Mali, Sudan and others when they witnessed internal crisis, now it is our turn to look inwards and we are told that our soldiers are running.

“What has gone wrong? What has changed that we are no longer the giant? That we can’t even get arms to buy in official markets, we have to go underground? Are we under sanctions? By who and why? Why are we not earning respect? Why are we not trusted?

“So, for me, even the PDP will recognise that they need time to go and rest so that they can ask themselves some soul searching questions; that how come that in
16 years we left the country weaker than we met it?”

The "Go and Die" governor now talking

Na today? Every right thinking Nigeria knows!

LOL.. Look who is talking about change..

Someone who doesn't have certificate..

He had to set ablaze the result center at the ministry of education when his pants was on fire

Someone who called Igbenedion a thug publicly.. And the next month, he was at Igbenedion birthday uninvited... Screaming.. Igbenedion was his father.. S
uddenly a thug has become his father..

Someone who has used 6 years in building a structure in Edo central hospital... Yet no sign of completion in another 6 years

Someone who is spending 32 billion naira on a ridiculous open drainage system. Using an amateur construction company owned by Tinubu. He promised three and half year completion.. After 5 years.. Only 25% completion rate has been recorded..

Someone who deceived Edo people he was the one constructing roads.. Until the minister of works came to disgrace him.. He has not recovered from his cheap talks..

Someone who turned thungry in Edo to a lucrative business.. Where thugs are the ones you see in government house.. If you doubt.. Go there and see the thugs smoking Marijuana in government house..

This disgrace can not win his constituency election if he dares himself.. He should be ashamed that his popularity has dropped by 80%..

The "Go and Die" governor should keep living in self deception thinking he is still relevant in Edo...

Yes, even by the PDP's standards, GEJ can be regarded as a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!

Millions of young men and women who voted him en mass expected him to provide a clean break from the corrupt and inglorious past and work for the interests of the teeming masses of the country.

But alas! He selfishly chose to work more for the protection of the very corrupt cabal whom Nigerians had wanted him to weed off the system; he embraced, empowered and emboldened them to loot even more, for his self-centred reasons.

That is why his six years in office are, to put it very mildly, uneventful! In fact, in terms of corruption, official impunity, insecurity and promotion of divisive politics, his years in office are worse than uneventful - they can be rightly described as disastrous!.

That is why so many of those who voted for him are now determined to see him SWEPT ASIDE by the same tide of change that brought him into power in the first place.

FAILURE DEFENDERS WILL COME N TELL US TORY

I agree with him

You just took the words out of my mouth.oshiomole is a disgrace. Edo state is one if the worst states in Nigeria, the level of development there is at d barest minimum. Was thinking he will be a salvation to Edo people after lucky Igbenedion ruined it. All he knows how to do is to decorate ring road and other major roads with Christmas lights, the roads in Benin Gra is unbelievably terrible. He has done virtually nothing in this his second tenure.
