Oshiomhole Is Still the Best Democratically Elected Governor Edo State Has Ever Had- Nigerians Open Up

As we prepare for a transition in democratic governance leading up to next year's general elections, the electorates have expressed their views on some well-known candidates and what their antecedents can tell us about their political future.

Former Edo State Governor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole is one such figure, running for the Edo North Senatorial seat under the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The following is a summary of his service capacity as reported by respondents.

This was culled from Nairaland...

"He is the governor who revived and transformed the infrastructure of Edo state after Lucky Igbinedion abandoned governance in the state for many years, claiming that it was the godfathers in the state who were taking the allocation of the state.

Having grown up in the then Bendel state and later Edo state, lived in Benin for 11 years before moving to Lagos with my parents in 1992, it was so appalling when I returned to Benin in 2008 during Lucky Igbinedion's tenure for project work, and I found many roads like Ihama road, GRA completely impassable.

Fast forward to 2010/2011 during Oshiomhole's administration when I came to Benin again for a project (Guaranty Trust Bank, Sapele road branch), I saw new roads, green-colored BRT type buses, etc.

Oshiomhole really tried compared to his predecessors and successors...give it to him. Like I told my wife recently, on the average, APC/ACN governors are more project-minded than PDP governors. The only PDP governor that has impressed me in terms of projects is Emperor Wike

More from the same Nairaland platform...

"Politics aside, in terms of infrastructure Oshiomhole tried in Edo State, anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. From Auchi to Irrua to Benin, he constructed roads and rebuilt a lot of schools (red roof revolution)."

"Once Oshiomole gets to the senate, let's all expect his labour-style leadership in making sound laws for the country. The man cannot sit quiet and read newspaper in the red chambers!"

Some few comments on Facebook.

Musa ****

"I have always admired Adams Oshiomhole's leadership style; he has always demonstrated the ability to deliver, impartial governance, competency, and empathy; these are core characteristics of a good leader; Nigerians, not just Edo, require his experience in governance; Adams Oshiomhole is a good man."

Itohan ****

"Can we compare Adams Oshiomhole's administration to the administrations that came before and after him? Of course not; Adams has raised the bar in terms of governance, with community relations playing a key role in his administration; Adams was always with the people and thus understands their needs. Adams Oshiomhole's administration continues to be Edo's best times."


Idemudia ****

"Everything Oshiomhole has done has been done with distinction, his time in the textile industry was notable, his time as Labour Leader remains the best to date, his time as Executive Governor cannot be compared to any other administration so far, Oshiomhole is without a doubt the best Governor we have ever had in Edo State."

What is your opinion of the former Edo State governor? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Why not tell us who has done better?

Yes.

This cheap shameless APC stipend collector has come again with his rotten threads.

By the way, where is the wife of the orangutan?

Ok

Best governor gini

Damnnn niggar
I be Bini....both mama and papa Bini

I agree

But he later messed up
Thinking he was a messiah

He wanted to do the tinubu control here in Edo
Thinking we are fools and slaves....
Not only that... how he go say iyamu na criminal but because now that he and obaseki are no longer in good terms he started saying iyamu is no longer a criminal

At the metion of peter obi.....every urchin & mikanoites must bow, every sane Nigeria must confess that Omoluabi Obi is the best among the rest and President of the Federal republic of Nigeria.

Really.....I serious doubt this assertions.

We celebrate mediocrity in the country too much.

There is nothing Best about any Governor in Nigeria.

The correct phrase should be;

"is Oshiomole the least worse Governor of Edo state"

Edo people, over to you guys.

Y'all know better than outsiders.

God bless Edo State .

God bless Nigeria .

We Rise.

Only unbiased indigenes and residents of Edo State can adequately answer the question.

Marketing?..

Osho baba was the best NLc chairman... Na there e end.. When he chop money, e end

He is not

It's well. All of them are condemned. The Edo state I know no be world class state and there's democracy in it for over 22 years.

After Bayelsa, na Edo dey follow in terms of underdevelopment in the SS.

No choice

Na only Edo pple fit answer this one.

1. Please post all threads in the right section, and don't derail threads by posting off topic.

Easy to know a paid advert.

All the governors Edo state has had so far have performed woefully. There's no good among them not to talk of better or best.

Yeah, to think Oshiomole initiated a BRT modeled transport system to Obaseki commissioning street light.
That's what happens when the electorates let sentiments be cloud their judgements.

Yes since most governors in this country are very corrupt and selfish ..this country have gone so low to the extent average leaders are celebrated as the best we can get ...that corrupt leaders who suppose to be in jail in a saner clime, is contesting to be president of this Country with teeming supporters of slavish youths..is a pity

Better than igbenedion and obaseki by far!

Its Ogbemudia, oshomole is far behind him

Def performed far better than the present governor.
Definitely.

Never, he is not the best elected Governor so far in Edo State.
