Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has said he would defeat the Chairman of the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Chief Tony Anenih, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in next year’s governorship election.

Oshiomhole said next year’s election would not be decided on the basis of rhetorics or propaganda, but on visible achievements.

The governor spoke at Apana-Uzairue, Etsako West Local Government, at the weekend, during a thanksgiving reception in honour of the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief Lucky James.

Anenih had, during the PDP State Congress, vowed to reclaim Edo for the PDP in next year’s elections.

Oshiomhole said: “Anenih will be defeated again, even in his local community. I will show him the number of roads leading to his house that I have tarred.

“I’m not afraid of the general in Edo State politics. I’m not a military man, but when the time comes, we will see that the era of promise and fail politics is over.”

James thanked the governor for repairing and building roads in 12 communities in Auchi, including Apana-Uzairue and Afowa-Iyowa-Ayoguri roads.
