Tinubu commissions 60-bed
hospital in Edo, hails
Oshiomhole
Former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu, has commissioned a 60-bed
specialist hospital, complete with state-of-
the-art equipment, three-bedroom doctors’
quarters and 2-bedroom nurses’ quarters,
built by the Governor Adams Oshiomhole
government in Ewohinmi, Esan South East
Local Government Area of Edo State.
Commissioning the hospital project which
was first conceptualized but abandoned
over 25 years ago, Tinubu, who is also a
national leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), said with the
commissioning of the hospital and other
projects in the state, Governor Oshiomhole
had introduced infrastructure development
revolution to the state.
Tinubu said it was regrettable that the 16
years of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) at the federal level had been a
colossal waste.
He said: “What you have in Edo State is
common sense development revolution.
Good security, employment, potable water
supply, agriculture, good road infrastructure,
vocational job to train and develop your
mind and become independent in life. That
is common sense development revolution.
“The only way you can get it at the federal
level is to have the voter’s card and vote
out the PDP. The 16 years of the PDP did
not produce anything. They were here and
they did not do roads to reach your
communities and they could not give you
boreholes.
“We have spent six years now and six years
of our arrival with our broom, we have been
sweeping the dirt away. We say change
from deceit; change from lies; change from
excuses. Today, the country is in darkness
because of the deception of the PDP. When
you pay a policeman, pittance how do you
expect him not to take bribe?
“We have built new hospitals and schools in
six years. If you want continuity of this
development, go and collect your voter’s
card and vote for APC. You want water to
flow; you want good roads; you want
potable water supply, then vote for APC.
“The reward for hard work is more work.
So, as the APC is doing well in Edo State,
you expect more work. You must vote for
more work and more facilities. Democracy
is not a spectator’s game. If you have no
card, go and collect one and vote against
the PDP. There can be no running water, if
you don’t vote for APC. The PDP has failed
and they will continue to fail.
“Glory be to God we now have a
government that build hospitals that would
save lives; emergency sections that would
ensure that accident victims are attended
to; that premature babies would be taken
care of. Thank you Adams, thank you for
leading a government that works,” he said.
In his remarks, Governor Oshiomhole said
the hospital project was one of the dreams
of his administration to extend development
to the rural communities.
He said: “For us in Edo State, the fact of
being rural does not mean the people are
inferior. Rural life is a function of location
and not of quality and consistent with the
commitment of our party to have an all-
inclusive development, the one that seeks
to make people feel the impact of gov­
ernance regardless of location, what you
have seen is a practical statement that this
is possible beyond rhetoric.
“When I visited here in 2009, the previous
government had awarded it. In fact, govern­
ments after governments had awarded it
and they were just using it to siphon money
in the name of the people of Ewohimi and
the blocks they were using were so bad. We
had to demolish that foundation and build a
completely new hospital.
“His royal highness informed me that this
project has been on for over 25 years and
somehow they have given up. I am happy
that God has used us to translate this to
reality.
“We have built road connecting Ewohimi to
other major towns in Esan and shortly we
shall be commissioning them.
