Former Edo State Governor, Senator Adams Oshiomole, says the allegation that his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has gathered money to buy votes of the people during the state off-cycle governorship election is untrue.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Oshiomole, who is also the incumbent senator representing Edo North at the National Assembly, stated this on Saturday after casting his vote at Iyamho, Ward 10 Unit 01 in Estako West Local Government Area in the ongoing guber poll in the state.
According to him, he has not received any report of violence from anywhere across the state, as the election was ongoing.
He said, “It is laughable when I hear this kind of allegation. You have been here, did you see anywhere where they are sharing money? People turned out in large numbers to vote for us because they wanted good government. During our campaign, people came out to see me not because I wanted to give them something but because of what I have done for them while I was in the office as the governor.
“All structures that I have put in place 12, 13 years ago are still there but the ones put up by the present administration, in one year, they are washed off. So our people have seen the difference. Some people do tell me that since I left the government, they haven’t seen the real presence of government in their communities.”
