…advises him to learn from Oshimhole’s fall
Candidate of the Labour Party in the September 19 governorship election in Edo State, Mr. Isaiah Osifo, says National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Sen.Bola Ahmed Tinubu, cannot impose his ‘retrogressive’ politics on the people of the state.
Osifo spoke in Benin on Sunday while reacting to comments credited to the APC leader on the alleged invasion of the Edo State House of Assembly.
The LP flagbearer said, “In Lagos State, Tinubu has succeeded in putting the destinies of over 20 million Lagosians in his pocket, who must go and prostrate in his Bourdillon residence before they can seek elective positions, buy property and even start a business.
“It is this retrogressive brand of politics that he wants to import to Edo State. But he fails to realise that Edo people have never been candidates for such mental dominance and subservience.
“He can’t subordinate a free people like us, who would give anything for the triumph of social justice, to his whims. He should learn about Edo people from the rise and fall of Adams Oshiomhole, the sacked national chairman of the APC.”
Isaiah noted that Tinubu might not be aware of the details of the crisis orchestrated by members of his party in Benin, urging him to get the full account of the events from all the parties to the issue before making uninformed comments on national television.
