Oshiomhole Fires Warning Shots At Obaseki In Uromi: APC Gears Up For Election Showdown

In a powerful speech that stirred up Uromi, Esan North East LGA, former Edo State Governor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, strongly criticized the current administration, focusing his sharpest remarks on Governor Godwin Obaseki. Speaking at an APC ward rally, Oshiomhole didn’t hold back, accusing Obaseki of betraying the people’s trust and blocking the opposition from using public facilities that were funded by taxpayers.

Oshiomhole, known for his fiery rhetoric, didn’t mince words as he warned Obaseki to change course or face the consequences. “If Obaseki continues on this path of pettiness, we will deny him the right to use federal infrastructure like roads and airports,” Oshiomhole thundered, drawing cheers from the crowd. He reminded the gathering that during his tenure as governor, he had allowed PDP’s Ogbemudia to use public facilities, a courtesy that Obaseki has refused to extend to the APC.

With the stakes high in the upcoming elections, Oshiomhole urged the people of Uromi to rally behind the APC and reject Obaseki, whom he accused of failing to deliver on key campaign promises, including the creation of 200,000 jobs, the construction of a mini-stadium, and the development of the Gelegele seaport.

Adding to the momentum, APC’s deputy governorship candidate, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, echoed Oshiomhole’s sentiments, declaring this election a “must-win” for the party. The crowd roared in agreement as Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC governorship candidate, took the stage to outline his 5-point agenda for Uromi. He promised to tackle insecurity, revamp the education system, improve infrastructure, enhance healthcare, and boost agricultural development.

The rally in Uromi was more than just a political gathering—it was a clarion call for change. With Oshiomhole leading the charge and Okpebholo promising to be a “governor of the people,” the APC is poised to make a powerful push in the battle for Edo State’s future. As the campaign heats up, one thing is clear: the fight for Edo is far from over, and the APC is ready to take it to the next level.
