Former governor of
Edo, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, said he was declared disloyal by Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) his refusing to share the state’s resources to party
leaders.
Osunbor, who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the 2015
general elections, disclosed this at APC’s campaign rally in Iruekpen, Esan
West Local Government Area, for the Sept.
10 governorship election in the
state.
He described the PDP as an “evil party”, whose interest was not for the
development of the state, but to share the resources among party leaders.
He
said that such mentality of the party was reason for the defection of prominent
sons and daughters of the state to the APC, adding that PDP was a “sinking
ship”.
“Evil people have hijacked the PDP; the party is a sinking ship, which
is why I have told my people to act like the former president, Obasanjo, by
tearing their PDP membership cards.
“I have told them to join the party that is
interested in their welfare and the overall development of the state. “PDP has
no interest in what becomes of the state and the people, but their pockets.
“This was why they said I was not loyal because I refused to share the money
meant to develop the state while I was the governor.
That was why they started
fighting me.
“The PDP, whether at the local, state or federal level can’t do
anything for us, it is only the APC that can make us a proud people through
development,” Osunbor stated.
Addressing the rally, the APC governorship
candidate, Mr Godwin Obaseki, said that Edo people, having produced great sons
and daughters in various sectors of the polity, deserved the best.
He said that
he was in the best position to govern and offer the people the best, beind part
of Oshiomhole’s success story.
Obaseki promised to not only continue with the
laudable projects of the Adams Oshiomhole government, but to take it to another
level through job creation and human empowerment.
