Obaseki’s commissioner, Edo APC clash over competent guber candidates

Nehikhare, an ally of Edo governor, Godwin Obaseki, of the Peoples Democratic Party , fired the first salvo in a press statement, by describing APC’s governorship candidate in the state, Monday Okpebholo, as camera-shy and ineloquent politician, while alleging that APC and Okpebholo did not mean well for Edo residents.

“Stuttering and muttering his words, after several efforts to get his handlers to polish him up to publicly address the people, Senator Okpebholo said he would end the ‘suffering’ of political leaders under Godwin Obaseki by granting them unfettered access to the people’s purse, while neglecting the state’s development and short-changing the majority of Edo people.

Edo APC, through its assistant publicity secretary, Victor Osehobo, in its reaction, titled: “Debunking the misguided misinformation of the PDP government and setting the records straight,” accused Nehikhare and his PDP’s government in the state of standing truth on its head, and embellishing falsehood for almost eight years of poor governance, mismanagement of the state’s resources, legacy of broken pledges, and spurious Memoranda of Understanding .

“Senator Okpebholo’s candidacy embodies principles, and his track record speaks volumes about his dedication to serving the people of Edo State selflessly. It is no longer a secret that Edo PDP has been plagued by credibility crises, since the godfather, Godwin Obaseki, joined the party on June 19, 2020, ahead of the September 19, 2020 governorship election. PDP is a party brewed in godfatherism, and it is marred by corruption, ineptitude, and a blatant disregard for the welfare of the people.
