Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has fired back at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, saying they were the actual riggers of the September 28 governorship election in the state.
He said Pastor Ize-Iyamu could not have scored more than 50,000 votes if the election was not rigged.
Oshiomhole, who spoke while addressing the All Progressive Congress (APC) youths during a road show, said he was prepared to meet the PDP in court and show how the party and its candidate rigged the election.
The governor said: “We are happy with the outcome of the election. We have gone to present the candidate to the Crown Prince, the Edaiken N’Uselu, and he (Obaseki) has been very well received.
“Thank you for coming out to celebrate. I am sure we encouraged our opponents to go to court. We will be able to lead evidence to show how much they profited from electoral fraud because the Ize-Iyamu that I know is not worthy of 50,000 votes.”
“So, it’s like an armed robber rushing to the police station with bullet wounds and claiming that he has been shot, whereas he was the one who opened fire on very innocent people. We will expose them where it matters in our courtrooms. Remain firm and resolute.
“For me, I am happy. The political funeral of the godfathers is final. There is nothing they can do to turn the will of God. So, this is our finest hour and I can’t wait to meet them in court.”
It a shame. A former Labour leader and trade unionist. Nigeria is in trouble and problem in all ramification.Oshiomohole is a disgrace to Edo people Nigeria and to humanity in general. Progressive indeed.
