Edo 2020: Why Obaseki Will Lose Re-election – Imo Commissioner

Simon Ebegbulem, Imo State Commissioner for Special Projects has given reasons why incumbent Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki will lose the September governorship contest in the state.

Ebegbulem who is a member of the Media Committee, All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Campaign in the state and former aide to the party’s former national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, said the Governor’s failure to deliver on some of his campaign promise in 2016 would be the reason for his defeat at the upcoming polls.

“The comrade governor took Obaseki round the state, campaigned for him, taught him how to dress before party supporters and even how to speak. But in this campaign, he will have nobody to teach him anymore besides the political neophytes following him, due to the resources he controls,” he said.

“I pity Obaseki because the people are going to pay him back for the deceit. The lies he told them about creating 200,000 jobs. He promised Gelegele Sea Port and there is not even a block at the place, yet millions of dollars belonging to the state has been fritted away. The only structures visible today in Edo State are those built by our leader and former governor, Comrade Oshiomhole.

“With the calibre of candidate APC is parading in the person of Pastor Ize-Iyamu, Edo people will stone Obaseki for deceiving them in four years.”
