Umbrella body of Edo North persons in politics, Afenmai Political Forum, yesterday took a swipe at Edo State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Dan Orbih and former senator representing the district, Senator Yisah Braimoh over what it described as their penchant to misinform the public on the achievements of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

The group in a statement by its President, Dr. Ifidon Imafidon, said “We have a lot of regards for former Senator Braimoh as a respected Edo North illustrious son but we do not see that in Chief Orbih, who seems to be leading a few against the interest of our people peddling blatant lies against our son,  Oshiomhole.”
The forum said it was shocked when the former Senator was quoted as saying that “Governor Oshiomhole is actually one man who is trying to turn my state of Edo upside down. In the face of the dwindling fortunes of his party, the APC and government, Oshiomhole has become desperate for survival.

“Apart from Braimoh, Orbih has been embarrassing us with his loquacious and rapacious attack on the person of Oshiomhole without any iota of respect for the office of the governor. What worries some of us is the fact that we see the quality of work Oshiomhole has embarked upon across the state even in Dan Orbih’s village but he will deliberately appears on television to say that we are all seeing is not true; this is most worrisome.

“Orbih complained of erosion menace in the state without commending the governor for constructing drainages on all the roads he has constructed across the state. There is no state in Nigeria immune from flooding.”
