Jonathan Abandoned Edo State After PDP Lost There- Oshiomhole

Governor Oshiomhole is angry and very bitter towards President
Jonathan for ignoring Edo state and its people, by depriving them of what he
call their right. While receiving former Minister of State for Works and PDP
Chieftain, Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi who just decamped to APC and 2000 of his
followers at the traditional Urhokpota Ground in Benin yesterday, Oshiomhole
openly poured out his anger, saying PDP has done more harm than good in the
state and the country as a whole. His exact words after the cut.

“What is buried in the name of PDP can never resurrect
because the Bible says, he who die in sin shall perish and languish in hell.
And because PDP died in sin, they killed, they embezzled our money, they
dehumanized our people, they enveloped Benin with flood, converted our young
one to prostitution and reduced Edo from the heart beat to a part of the
country that was now remember only by reference to very negative headlines.

“ It will take PDP more than a hundred years to pay
reparation to Edo people. If anybody imagine what has happened in this state
for six years, then you can better calculate how much they stole from the
treasury of this state and how many miles they set us backwards in terms of
where we are supposed to be. And that is why when the President came here to
say that Edo will fall, I said well who is speaking. Can a man who is on the
ground speak to a man who is on his feet?

“ PDP has already been fallen and buried in Edo state many
many years ago. Yes in the last election we asked our people to vote on the
basic of certain sentiments, and the PDP at the Presidential level won 95 per
cent of the votes. But now Edo people are asking, what do we have to show for it.
The erosion caused by PDP at Queen Ede has destroyed the schools built for Edo
child. That erosion is destroying the Catholic Church, it has destroyed several
houses, killed many of our people.

“ Federal PDP shared money to PDP states including states where
the President lost election, they did not give one dim to the people of Edo
state. Our crime because we voted wrongly. In Auchi, erosion have swept away
more than 50 per cent of the houses and swept away others, they shared the
ecology money they gave no dim to the people of Auchi. In Esan Central and
West, erosion has destroyed a number of communities, PDP produced leaders in
Esan land they did not bring one dime to deal with erosion in Esan land, but
they gave money to Delta, they gave money to Bayelsa, they gave money to Cross
River, they gave money to Niger, Jigawa, Kaduna and others.

“ What is our offence because we voted wrongly? So when we
say APC, Change PDP, Change Jonathan it is informed by evidence. We must change
both the party and the driver. PDP has failed for sixteen years they should
leave.

“And let me be very specific, if we had not removed PDP in
Edo we wold not have experienced the change we are seeing today in Edo. If we
remove PDP from Abuja the way we removed them from Edo we will have power,
universities will not be closing for six months, they will not be distributing
SURE-P through PDP leaders, they will not be devaluing the currency and they
will not be acting like small gods” he stressed.
