Obaseki Kicks Off Campaigns, Promises To Industrialize Edo

Mr Godwin Obaseki, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state, flagged off his campaigns in Edo South senatorial district in front of a mammoth crowd at the APC rally in Benin City.

Obaseki vowing to create jobs for the people of the state, said, “We will make sure we have a government that will use the money of the people for the people. So we will make sure that we will continue to run an open, efficient and responsible government. Edo people in the Diaspora send more money to Edo than we spend in our budget, it tells you how well our people are doing all over the world.

“We have more interests in ensuring that the people of Edo state is one in which the people come first. We want to take sure that our people are economically strong and the way to do it is to attract investment, industries. We will create jobs and the minimum we will do in the first four years is 200, 000 jobs”.

“My priority will be women empowerment. Two months ago we gave micro loans to 15, 000 women, during my tenure that number will increase significantly. I want to assure you that along with our wives, we will not disappoint you” he stated.

Governor Adams Oshiomhole who insisted that Ize-Iyamu will lose woefully in this election, narrated that “In the books of the Edo state government, Pastor Ize-Iyamu as SSG, he signed the minutes where they claimed billions of contracts to dualize the road from Okada junction to Okada town, they even claim to have graded internal roads in Okada town. Today, they collected that money in full but the job was never done and the EFCC has not investigated that job.

“It will have to be investigated. Now that the new IG is investigating the death of Harry Marshal, and Bola Ige, EFCC must come back and investigate all the jobs which Ize-Iyamu and co claimed to have done which they did not do, I will show them the records, the location and they will see for themselves how much was taken and nothing was done. I have the signature and minutes where they claimed to have awarded the Siluko road and Teachers House. Any time they were broke they will say further amendment to the contract.

“Altogether, Ize-Iyamu and co took billions of naira in the name of solving the flood problem at teachers house but the job was never done. Inspite of their monumental crime against the people of the state, they privatize the resources of the state. I will challenge them whether they carry the genuine Bible or not. with Ize-Iyamu as Chief of Staff to Lucky Igbinedion, the very first executive action that took in 1999-2000, was to dismiss all the serving Permanent Secretaries in Edo state, whether they were in Edo Central, North or South."
