Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole said yesterday in
Benin that the country would have collapsed had former President Goodluck
Jonathan been re-elected.
He stated this while
receiving over five thousand members of the PDP in the three senatorial
districts of the state, including the immediate past Chairman of the House of
Representatives Committee on Power, Patrick Ikhariale, Abbas Braimah, Bisi
Idaomi and others into the fold of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benin
yesterday.
According to Oshiomhole,
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under President Goodluck Jonathan
squandered the resources of the state in running their party and individual homes
rather than the nation.
Acknowledging that it
will take time to clean up the mess of the past, the Governor pointed out that
things were changing positively since the coming of President Muhammadu
Buhari.
President Buhari has a
huge task of rebuilding a country that has been so grossly mismanaged. I
believe God loves Nigeria so much that he gave us President Buhari at the time
he did. You can imagine if Jonathan had continued in office where we could
have been today”, Oshiomhole said.
“For the first time, big
people are being asked to account, in the past we only hear of governors,
local government people, commissioners but this time we are seeing Minister of
Finance confessing like a witch craft how they took money and even co-opted
their children so they didn’t just share money for the party they shared for
their families. When a minister pays money into her own personal account, we
have seen national security being redefined to meet the security of a political
party to secure the party in office rather than the nation even in the face of
a devastating insurgency”, he added.
He urged the old APC leaders
not to discriminate against the new comers, saying that “politics is a game of
numbers, the more the merrier.”
