Oshoiomole holds road show in Benin

The Edo State governor, Comr Adams Oshiomole, went on 10km road show with thousands of resindents accross major streets in Benin yesterday.
He thanked all for their support in the last saturday's State Assembly election in Edo. He also added that the victory is an evidence to show the era of godfatherism politics in Edo State is far gone.

Oshiomhole said, “You remember the President came to Edo and said Edo will fall in 2015 and 2016. I said in the name of God our creator, He will not abandon us and I said Jonathan will fall. Has he not fallen?

“And I said the godfather will fall. Has he not also fallen? Where are they today? From Edo Central to Edo South, all the godfathers have finally perished.”

The governor said that outcome of the elections had strengthened the capacity of the party to bring greater development to the state, a feat he said his administration owed to all the stakeholders in the political system.

He added, “I am proud of Edo people and I want to thank you so very much for being there for me and I promise that I will be there for all of you.

“ I will give my all for the Edo people because if you imagine plans of the enemies, while we were campaigning for change for progress and development, they were plotting to use acid to bath my political life.

“To all the great people of Edo State; to the great Oba of Benin Kingdom; to all the members of the royal family; to all the Enigies of Benin Kingdom; to all the chiefs, to the Benin Forum, the Benin Leaders of Thought, the great Benin women, the Odionweres, to everybody, I cannot thank you enough. God will bless your children as a reward for your sacrifice.”
