The south-south zonal organising secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Blessing Agbomhere has carpeted the governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki for destroying the state’s economy.
He described the social and economic life in Edo state as “hopeless, chaotic and stale with a dire need for innovative and purpose-driven leadership.”
Agbomhere, who declared his intention to vie for the APC ticket next year, said the administration of Obaseki and his deputy Philip Shuaibu is a classic example of “two thieves who are fighting amongst themselves as a result of the distribution of their ill-gotten bounty.”
In a statement, Agbomhere said the tragic state of affairs in Edo state was worrisome and a fallout of the “uncoordinated and vision-less leadership provided by Governor Obaseki and his deputy, Shuaibu in the past seven and a half years.”
He accused the governor and his deputy of biting the hand that fed them by betraying former governor, Adams Oshiomhole and orchestrating a departure from the APC through which they were elected in their first term in office to the lacklustre and drab Peoples Democratic Party which was currently “battling with a crisis of direction and cohesion.”
