Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has dismissed claims
that he is aspiring to run for the office of the Senate President.
Oshiomhole said he would not get to the level of playing God
over his chances of running for the office of Senate President.
He spoke while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics
Today on Wednesday.
Oshiomhole said: “When? Have I been elected yet? My parents
told me that you don’t pray for a child to have a baby boy until he first gets
married.
“So my current tenure will end at the end of this session,
on June 12 or 13. Now I have applied for renewal, and I can’t take the people
of Edo North for granted. I pray that they renew that mandate for me. So, to
take that for granted is to take the democratic process for granted.
“Right now, I have applied, and if you ask me, ‘Do you want
to be a senator again?’ I will say yes. What is the evidence? I have applied
and have been screened.
“On Monday, I will be going for primaries. If I win, I will
face the election on January 15. Only people who do not have the fear of God,
who do not understand that we are not who we are by reason of our strength,
begin to postulate what they want to be.
“I think we should take it step by step, and right now my
current mandate is about to expire, and I’m working hard to get a renewal of
that mandate. I will not join in playing God.”
