PDP has destroyed the economy of Nigeria...... Oshiomhole

Governor Adams Oshiomhole
of Edo State has said the
Peoples Democratic Party-led
Federal Government has
destroyed the nation’s
economy.
Speaking to a coalition of
women from across the 18
local government areas of the
state, led by Evelyn Igbafe,
who paid him a solidarity
visit, Tuesday, Mr.
Oshiomhole said, “PDP has
mismanaged the economy.
You can all see that you need
about N220 now to buy $1.
When PDP took over power
in 1999, $1 was between N60
and N65.
“They have destroyed the
economy. After 16 years PDP
cannot give light to Edo
people and upon the
darkness, they are using their
might to collect what they
call fixed charges from very
poor people and because
there is no light, the woman
that has to grind pepper has
to buy a generator; because
there is no light, the woman
that grinds cassava has to
buy a generator; because
there is no light, the woman
who has to sell articles at
night has to buy a generator.
Mr. Oshiomhole said, “I like
what the Benin leaders are
saying. We cannot say this is
what we have gained from
the PDP and because we are
working, they are very afraid.
When I see the PDP
Chairman of the State
wearing multiple colours and
talking and spend all his time
abusing Oshiomhole, but fails
to spend some minutes to say
what the PDP has done in 10
years, I laugh.
“When you are going now,
pass through the Central
Hospital to see the beautiful work that is
being done there. This is what is giving
the PDP sleepless nights because all the
evil plans they had against that hospital
did not work. Before APC came, PDP
asked students to pay school fees. We
have stopped all of that. If you have two
three children in school and you do not
pay school fees for any of them, is that
not extra savings? Under PDP, they were
paying for schools that didn’t have roofs
and chairs.”
“There are still many things to be done
because the damages done by PDP in ten
years cannot be repaired in six years. I
want to promise you that we will
continue to do our best.”
Earlier, the leader of the women coalition,
Evelyn Igbafe, said they were in
Government House to thank the governor
for the re-appointment of a traditional
ruler, Ehioze Erediauwa, as a member of
Edo State Oil and Gas Producing Areas
Development Commission, and assured
the governor of their continued support
always.
“We have come to encourage you that you
should continue with your good works in
Edo State, we appreciate your government
and we want APC to continue the good
work and we to assure you that APC is
carry go,” she said.
