BENIN—GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has failed in its 16 years in power, because the party cannot give what it doesn’t have, adding that the PDP-led Federal Government has become the weak link in Nigeria’s federal system and the time for change has come for the country to move forward.

The governor said another four years of the PDP at the federal level would worsen the hardship and sufferings of Nigerians as it was a government full of deceit.

Speaking at the campaign rallies of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ovia North East, Ovia South-West and Egor Local Government Areas of Edo State, Oshiomhole said: “We have looked at all the indices. The truth is that the Federal Government has become the weak link in our development process. We can’t create jobs because there is no power.

“Everywhere I go to in Edo, people are protesting over blackout. The state government provides the transformers, but private organisations come to collect the bills whether they provide electricity or not.

“When you watch television, they tell you they have done railways, that trains are working everywhere. Among you here, who has entered a PDP train? Is it on television we will keep seeing it?
