Oshionmhole’s reign a disaster- Idahosa

A former aide of Adams Oshiomhole, Mr. Charles Idahosa, Monday said the All Progressives Congress (APC) will die a natural death in Edo state if governor Godwin Obaseki is forced out of the party.

Idahosa also rubbished claims by Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of APC that his one year in office has been successful.

According to him, ”that is not true, when you (Oshiomhole) lost five states. Why will you take credit?

”As a seating governor, Oshiomhole lost the presidential election in the state in 2015 with over 80,000 votes to Gooodluck Jonathan, the PDP presidential candidate.

 ”And in 2019 presidential elections during the period of Godwin Obasski, we lost to the PDP, Atiku Abubakar with less than 8,000 votes.

”In the state house of assembly, Obaseki scored 24/24 while Oshiomhole scored between 21 and 22 /24. They are not of the same record. Obaseki also increased the House of Representatives by winning Ovia federal constituency,” Idahosa said.

Obaseki and Oshiomhole’s feud had deepened over supremacy battle for the control of Edo State.

Meanwile,  the Edo Peoples Movement (EPM), a pressure group with the APC and believed to be loyal to the National chairman has vowed to stop the governor from securing the party’s ticket for a second term.

However, Idahosa who addressed newsmen in Benin City said: ”the question we should ask ourselves is, is the man (Obaseki) working?

”Nobody has accused him of non-performance. He has been paying salaries at when due, infrastructural development among others.

”The House of assembly election was a referendum on Obaseki. They should not deceive themselves,” he stated.
