Mr. Philip Shuaibu, the governorship running mate to the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Godwin Obaseki, has expressed optimism that his party looks good to carry the day at the forthcoming Edo election gubernatorial polls.
He spoke after receiving the endorsement of the entire leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Benin City, the state capital, yesterday.
Shuaibu who expressed joy over the endorsement of the students, declared that the PDP intends to further destroy the economy of the state but assured that the people of the state will vote against them come September 10, 2016.
According to him, “Everybody knew what Edo state use to be, flooding, criminality but today Oshiomhole’s administration has rescued Edo state. Our budget in 2008 was taken to Abuja to be scrutinised by some people with selfish interest.”
Describing Obaseki as one man who will turn Edo state to Dubai, he said that “Obaseki is a man that when you talk about the story of transformation in our banks, you must mention his name. If you talk about those industries that making waves today in Nigeria, the story will not be complete without calling the name of Obaseki. If you want to talk about Nigeria as far as the economic issues are concerned you must mention Obaseki.
“Everybody wants to tap from his experience, it is a gift from God that at this time APC decided that it is time to look for a technocrat to head the government here. It became possible to pay salaries in Edo state because we have a team working tirelessly to make things work in Edo state. PDP has record of waste, they have not vision for the state and Edo people will further punish them next week Saturday,” he stated.
