Our Politics Has Gone Beyond Sharing Of Rice, Yams Or Cubes Of Sugar – Oshiomhol by Dotun9: 10:44am On Feb 24, 2015
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has appealed to voters not to be deceived by the People’s Democratic Party, which will share cubes of sugar, tubers of yam and grains for their votes.

He stated this while commissioning the 35-bed “Clara Oshiomhole Comprehensive Health Centre” named after the late wife of the governor and built by a member of the Edo State House of Aassembly, Hon. Dele Oloruntoba, as part of his constituency project.

Oshiomhole said: “Let me remind our people that there are two parties in Nigeria: the party that believes government should work for the people and the one that believes that government money must be shared among some people and put into individual pockets.”

Oshiomhole said money has been appropriated for constituency project in the past but were put into private pockets by leaders of the PDP.

“In a democracy, everybody must be identified by his father’s name. If you work, it will be seen. If you don’t work, it will be seen and we must put your name against your performance.”

“In all that we do, the first consideration is that we must apply public funds in a way that would deliver happiness to the majority of our people.

“And it is also noteworthy that even when you did not win nomination in the last primary, you could have decided that since you are not seeking re-nomination, you don’t care anymore.

“I want to appeal to our people that this forthcoming election is not for us to vote for cubes of sugar, tubers of yam or bag of rice. Our politics has gone beyond that level.

“If you vote because of these materiel things, the consequences are such that development will be far. For 10 years, all the money was stolen and it was put in private pockets and they bring a small percentage to share when election is approaching.

“I am proud of my party and I ask you to support the All Progressives Congress and its candidates from the presidency to the House of Assembly elections. Our people know now that PDP is a party of cheats and anytime you see red roofs, you know it is APC.

“May I also inform you that this election is not about tribalism. One of the causes of Nigeria’s problems is this issue of tribalism. The issue is that a party that will not work will not work.”

Oshiomhole was conferred with the title of Aigbonaga of Ekpedo for the numerous developmental strides in the state.
The conferment was done by the Onose of Ekpedo, Oba John Obabori, who said it was for the governor’s commitment to providing qualitative health care for the people.
