PDP Vs APC: War Of Words Over Obaseki’s Performance In Edo (Full Details)

Edo State chapters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have disagreed on the performance of Governor Godwin Obaseki of the PDP and good governance in the state.

Edo PDP, through its Publicity Secretary, Chris Nehikhare, yesterday in Benin, described APC as a rag-tag party.

The newly-elected Chairman of APC in Edo State, Col. David Imuse (rtd.), was quoted by the party’s Assistant Publicity Secretary, Victor Osehobo, as insisting that Obaseki’s PDP administration was the worst political scam that had ever happened in the political history of Edo.

Nehikhare said: “Edo people are disappointed. Edo people were hoping for a quality team to keep the ruling party (PDP) and government on their toes, to attempt to stand in gap for them, but what Edo people have been saddled with is a team that lacks vision and inspiration, but motivated by greed, bitterness, resentment and cynicism. The APC executive is a selection of cronies of the defeated godfather.

“It is a pity that APC members in Edo State have still not exorcised the demons in their midst. Governor Obaseki’s insistence on using the state’s resources to develop and build infrastructure for Edo people and not stomach infrastructure for APC leaders and cabal was the reason he left APC for PDP on June 19, 2020.

“Our party, the PDP, and its government, are the most organised, people-centred and credible administration in Edo State. Our policies and programmes for the society are with a view to promoting the collective good and not the personal aggrandisement policy that is the cardinal programme of APC.”

“APC has a deplorable effect on our society – corroding justice, good governance and prosperity. APC is like a desperate conman. APC is trying to flog a clapped-out and broken-down model, by slapping on a new coat of paint. They are arrogant enough to think that Edo people will forget what they are.”

The Edo publicity secretary of PDP also stated that Obaseki and PDP would continue to deliver on good governance, while claiming that resetting Edo agenda was causing serious discomfort for APC.

Osehobo said: “As you know, we do not have a governor in Edo State, we have a sole administrator. Obaseki’s PDP administration is the greatest scam that has ever happened in Edo political history. Obaseki surrounds himself with political sycophants, predators, opportunists and vagabonds.

“APC is now fully prepared to play the role of credible opposition with constructive criticisms based on facts and intelligence. With the political road to year 2023 and 2024 now under construction, a united APC in the state will not only deliver Edo to the party, but also retake the seat of government in Benin City.

“Leadership of our party (APC) will be governed with new ideas that will cater for now and future. It has faced a lot of obstacles over time, just as it has climbed many mountains and descended several valleys, prepared to meet the challenges of future.”

The Edo APC assistant publicity secretary also urged members of the party in the state to ignore the propaganda of Obaseki’s administration and remained focused on bringing about the desired change in 2024.
