Obaseki Thinks Edo People Are Ignorant – Tinubu

Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has berated Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State.

In a statement on Friday, the former Lagos State governor stated that Edo people will vote out Obaseki come September 19.

He noted that while Obaseki had promised to be the governor of all the people of the State, he has denied two-thirds of the people of his state their right to representation in the state’s only legislative chamber.

“In his campaign for re-election, Governor Obaseki promises to represent and defend the interests of all the people of his state,” Tinubu said.

“Yet, so blinded is he by his personal ambition, he sees no irony in the fact that his actions have denied two-thirds of the people of his state their right to representation in the state’s only legislative chamber.

“Governor Obaseki must think the people of his state to be as foolhardy and ignorant as he, for even as he courts their votes, he continues to make a mockery of the institution of democracy in his own House of Assembly.

“If Governor Obaseki believes the people are not aware of this inherent irony, he will undoubtedly learn the cost of this grave miscalculation in the fullness of time.

“The rule of law and preservation of democracy is too important to sacrifice at the altar of any one man’s ambition.

“Governor Obaseki’s woeful leadership of Edo State will hopefully be brought to an end soon by the very people whose rights he has so carelessly trampled upon.”
