The Governor of Edo state, Adams
Oshiomhole once again, has blamed the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the
current economic challenges the country is
facing.
He also called on people of the state not to
vote for the PDP in the upcoming
governorship elections.
Oshiomhole said the party misused the
resources of Edo state, adding that “The
people who bled the treasury are now coming
to tell you, the victims, that rice is now
expensive, naira has suffered devaluation. If
one man took over N2 billion, in Edo alone,
what they have confessed to EFCC to have
taken is over N5 billion.”
He also said “If they took so much dollars
meant for defense to protect Christians
against attacks from Boko Haram, to protect
mosques from Boko Haram attack, these
people took the money in dollars, converted
it to naira, depleted our dollar reserves,
shared it into their pockets, their generals
dug soak-away pits and put dollars inside. The
whole dollars from the Central Bank was
taken and from a reserve of over $50 billion,
PDP bled the reserves and today it is down to
about $20 billion.”
The Edo Governor also praise the
administration of President Buhari, adding
that he is blocking the leakages in the
economy.
“When a man comes to your house, burgled
your store where you kept your food and in
the morning you find the store burgled, can
you immediately feed your children? What
President Buhari is doing now, when he found
that PDP broke into the treasury and emptied
it, he has started rebuilding of the door of
the treasury to resecure it, and the ones they
have taken he is recovering them one after
the other.
“The way PDP put fire on our economy, to
rebuild it cannot be overnight. Today, my
confidence about the future of our country is
that Buhari is blocking all the leakages in our
economy,” he said.
The Edo state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-
Iyamu, recently vowed to probe Governor
Adams Oshiomhole. »
