BENIN—FORMER deputy governor of Edo State and chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, Rev.Peter Obadan, weekend, told the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state to forget the 2016 governorship seat, saying that the party still lacks the credibility to win elections in the state.

“I hear them sing every day about what happened in Ekiti State. APC is firmly rooted in Edo State and the people of the state appreciate Governor Adams Oshiomhole for his numerous developmental strides. The people of the state have not still forgotten what PDP did to them for over 10 years, so this issue of Ekiti is laughable. Ekiti is not Edo,” he said.

Obadan was reacting to comments by the state chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, that the victory of the PDP in Ekiti State will be replicated in Edo state, come 2016.

Obadan stressed: “PDP likes sharing the money while Oshiomhole is a good manager of resources and he has no money to share to people. Oshiomhole does not like to see people suffer. He has that human feeling. I will say Oshiomhole is considerate. He is not a man who will starve his people. If there are problems with infrastructure in Edo State, it means resources are not available, it is not that he is deliberately withholding money.”
