Edo 2012: Anenih is finished, Oshiomhole boasts

Edo State Governor Comrade Adams Oshiomhole yesterday described a chieftain of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Tony Anenih, as a finished politician.

Anenih, the Governor said, can never revive his political career winning the state for PDP.

Oshiomhole was reacting to Anenih’s comment in Yenogoa, Capital of Bayelsa State, during the campaign train of Governor Henry Dickson that Edo State will soon return to PDP.
He spoke at a well-attended sensitisation workshop by women leaders of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Benin, capital of Edo.
Oshiomhole said, ‘’The godfather can never resurrect from his political death. Abuja cannot revive him.
‘’Abuja will not define votes in Edo. Edo people will decide the votes. When an old man decides to live on fraud, cheating, manipulation, he is poised for a bigger place in hell.
‘’That hell began from here. There is nothing the chief can do to revive himself from his political death. He cannot resurrect. He is finished and he remained finished."
He challenged the former Chairman of the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) to a walk on the streets of Benin to canvass for votes for the scheduled July 14th governorship election.
According to him, ‘’Let him come to Benin and make the statement he made in Yenogoa. He should come here. He should come to the streets of Benin. Let us march together to markets in the state.
‘’He must not hide inside a bullet proof vehicle and be making statements he cannot make even in Uromi.’’
ACN women leader, Mrs. Modina Emovon and Secretary, Mrs Patience Omorotiomwan, in their speeches, urged women to compare Oshiomhole’s administration to PDP’s 10 year rule.
Mrs. Emovon told the women not to sell their voter’s cards which she described as their weapon to retain good leadership in the state.
According to her, "We are happy with what Governor Oshiomhole is doing. We are asking him to continue and we will stand solidly by him in the elections.

"Edo women will vote ACN. We will not allow the PDP to come back again. They are enemies of development.’’
