00:00Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has made some accusations against his predecessor,
00:06Adams Oshomole, saying, the All Progressives Congress, APC does not love the people of Edo
00:13Central Senatorial Zone known as Esan people. Governor Obaseki stated this on Friday during
00:20his election campaign for his party candidate, Ashley Godalo in the Edo Central ahead of the
00:25forthcoming September 21, 2024 Guba election in the state while presenting the party's candidates,
00:32Ashley Godalo, and his running mate, Osarodion Ogi, to the people of Esan North East Local
00:38Government Area of Edo State. According to Punch newspaper, Obaseki said that APC intend to impeach
00:46their Esan governorship candidates within three months if they become the winner of the forthcoming
00:51election. Adding, after the impeachment, they intend to run the state the way and manner they want.
00:59The newspaper reported that the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, also said that one of
01:05the problems his administration has with Adams Oshomole was that he organized a state burial
01:11for the People's Democratic Party leader, Chief Tony Aneni. At the time of the burial, Obaseki
01:18was still with the APC, though his relationship with Oshomole was strained as both had fallen
01:24out over party and governance issues. Speaking to party supporters at Okuje Demonstration Primary
01:31School, Urumi, Obaseki said the former governor questioned the rationale behind his organizing
01:37a state burial for the deceased. He said, When Chief Tony Aneni died, I gave him a state burial
01:44as an APC member and this is one of the things that caused problems between Oshomole and I.
01:51He said he was not an elected official. Why would I give him a state burial?
01:57I said the man has done more than many governors so he deserved it. Before coming here to campaign
02:03we went to his, Aneni's, village to pray and to thank him for what he did for the Esan land,
02:09Edo state and Nigeria. I say Edo must be won, united and to achieve this every part of Edo
02:17state must produce governor. Edo nuts and salt have produced and it's time for the Esan people
02:23to produce the governor. It is left for you to deliver him. APC does not love Esan people as
02:30the candidates. They plan to impeach the candidates after three months and take over the state to run
02:36it the way they like. Esan has produced people like the late Chief Anthony Enaholo, the late
02:42Chief Tony Aneni and Professor Oseremen Osomole and now wants to bring Monde Opevolo who can't
02:49measure up to these people. It's an insult to Esan people. The governor charged the people
02:55to embark on massive campaign after this rally to mobilize and get more people and new voters
03:00in readiness for the September 21st governorship election in the state. I charge you to mobilize
03:08for PDP in this election and ensure that Igodalo and Ogi win the September 21st governorship
03:14election. Igodalo said Boromi is the stronghold of the PDP and capital of Esan land, noting that
03:21stronger politicians have emerged from Boromi. Obaseki has done so much for Edo people in terms
03:28of roads, hospitals, health care and sports. Those he couldn't finish we will complete them.
03:36APC policies have continued to remove money from our pockets and increase our suffering and
03:41hardship but we are calling to bring a better life for Edo people. Former chairman of Esan
03:47northeast local government area John Yakubu said the council area has verified over 4,000
03:54canvassers that carry the party messages of prospects and growth to our people.
