The Edo State Governor, Adams
Oshiomhole, has said that the
Peoples Democratic Party has run
out of lies having failed to discredit
the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over his
academic qualification to contest
the February 14 presidential
election.
The Government College, Katsina
(formerly Provincial Secondary
School) had on Wednesday
released Buhari’s credential shortly
after he had formerly requested
the school to make the document
available to dispel the controversy
surrounding his qualification.
However, Oshiomhole said that
Buhari’s capability was not in
doubt, adding that that he would
secure the votes of Nigerians, even
if he tendered his electricity bill.
The governor, who spoke during an
inspection of road projects at the
Egor Market in Upper Siluko area of
the state capital on Thursday, said
that Nigerians were tired of the
current situation, because of the
Federal Government’s failure to
provide the basic infrastructure in
the country.
Oshiomhole said, “I’m happy that
you people are following what is
happening. One young man said
even if Buhari didn’t have a school
certificate, he is better than
another man who has a doctorate
degree in Zoology, but we can’t
even get fish on our table.
“The truth is that everybody is
tired. Today in this market, I’m sure
you don’t have light. We have
provided the electric poles and the
transformer but they will not give
us light.
“So, the only solution is, after 16
years of the PDP, they have
exhausted their lies. We have to
bring Gen. Buhari because we want
a leader with courage; when he
says I will do something, he will do
it, not a leader that will promise
during campaigns but will
disappear after the campaigns.”
The governor also accused the
Federal Government of enriching a
few individuals, “and they are
telling us they are going to bring a
lot of money to buy our votes.”
“When they bring the money
collect it, it’s the money they stole
from you, but we will not vote for
them,” he added.
He also urged eligible voters who
had yet to collect the Permanent
Voter Cards to do so at the nearest
Independent National Electoral
Commission office in order to vote
for the APC at all levels.
On his part, the spokesman for Egor
Market traders, Mr. Egbon Edowonyi,
pledged the support of the traders
for the APC and its candidates.
