Former Edo State governor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole has taken Governor Godwin Obaseki to the cleaners after Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated his anointed candidate, Asue Ighodalo in the just concluded governorship election in the state.
Oshiomhole said: “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 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.”
For those who don’t know Okpebholo defeated Ighodalo with a total of 291,667 votes while Ighodalo got 247,272 total votes.
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday declared Monday Okpebholo as the winner of the election.
