EDO 2024 | Obaseki is Politically Dead, Says Oshiomhole

By Seyi Babalola

Adams Oshiomhole, a former governor and senator representing the Edo North Senatorial District, has said that departing Governor Godwin Obaseki is politically dead.

Oshiomhole made this comment during an appearance on Channels TV’s Politics Today when he discussed the outcome of the state’s just-ended governorship election.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), announced Monday Okpebholo as the winner of the just concluded Edo election.

However, during the interview, Oshiomole said the outcome of the election represented the will of the Edo people.

Speaking on the comments trailing the declaration of the APC candidate as the winner of the election, Oshiomhole said the Edo people would not sacrifice their blood for anybody.

“We subscribe to President Jonathan’s school which says the election of even a president is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. And you have the PDP national chairman who is acting with all the crises around the status talking about a bloodbath for election.

“You have Obaseki, I watched him on Channels insisting it was do-or-die. And when you asked him, he said, if they did, then they would be dead. Now the people have done it. I guess he is politically dead.

“The people have decided that Monday, who was elected last year as a senator, has been elected; and now has been declared the governor-elect,” he said.
