FORMER
Peoples Democratic Party Chairman, Board of Trustees, Chief Tony
Anenih, has predicted
victory for the PDP in Saturday’s Edo State
governorship election.
Anenih, who spoke at a
campaign rally in Okada, Ovia North East Local Government Area on
Tuesday, said the PDP candidate, Charles Airhiavbere, would have an easy
ride because his rival, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of the Action
Congress of Nigeria “lacks the capacity to remain governor”.
He said, “It’s true that
the governor of Edo State is from the Northern Senatorial District.
When you have children, you give them responsibility, but Oshiomhole
can’t carry any responsibility. We have a candidate who will deliver
health care and quality education.”
Anenih however dismissed
reports that the party’s candidate labelled students of the state-owned
Ambrose Alli University “armed robbers”, saying the PDP would lift the
standard of the institution if voted to power.
He said, “What we have
in AAU are Oshiomhole’s kinsmen. We have an institution whose entire
management, including the Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, Bursar and even
Student Union Government, are in acting capacity.
“The words of elders are words of wisdom. Edo cannot be left out in the South-South which is controlled by the PDP.”
Another leader of the
party in the state, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, urged the people to vote
“massively for the PDP on Saturday”.
Airhiavbere on his part, promised to
reabsorb sacked workers of the state-owned transport company, Edo Line,
within his first 24 hours of being sworn-in as governor. He also
promised to domesticate Federal Government transformation agenda.
