Imo state Commissioner for Special Duties and stalwart of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Imo State, Simon Ebegbulem, has said that the Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, who is seeking a re-election on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will not win the September 19, 2020 governorship election.
Ebegbulem, a Journalist, who was a former newspaper correspondent in Edo State for many years and who is well conversant with the political dynamics in Edo State, predicates his poll projection on what he described as Governor Obaseki's failure to "fulfil his 2016 campaign promises".
The Imo Commissioner who is a member of the Media Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Campaign and former media spokesman to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, predicts that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, will defeat Obaseki by a landslide, at the poll.
Ebegbulem stated that it was Oshiomhole who taught Obaseki how to dress before party supporters and how to warm up to the people, a privilege he would no longer enjoy.
"The comrade governor took Obaseki round the state, campaigned for him, taught him how to dress before party supporters and even how to speak. But in this campaign, he will have nobody to teach him anymore besides the political neophytes following him, due to the resources he controls.
“I pity Obaseki because the people are going to pay him back for the deceit, the lies he told them about creating 200,000 jobs. He promised Gelegele Sea Port and there is not even a block at the place, yet millions of dollars belonging to the state has been frittered away. The only structures visible today in Edo State are those built by our leader and former governor, Comrade Oshiomhole.
“With the calibre of candidate APC is parading in the person of Pastor Ize-Iyamu, Edo people will stone Obaseki for deceiving them in four years.”, Ebegbulem stated. NNL.
