Adams Oshiomhole, former national chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has accused the governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki, of poor performance.
The former Edo state governor said Obaseki, who is the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has made the APC's campaign easier due to his alleged poor performance.
The Cable reports that Oshiomhole made the statement on Monday, August 17, after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Some of the things that have made our campaign easier is the fact that we have established a tradition in Edo state, that don’t believe any politician till you have seen action particularly if that politician is already in office,” he said.
Oshiomhole also accused Obaseki of deceiving Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to lay the foundation for a “phantom industrial park” in Benin, the state capital.
Osinbajo had laid the foundation of the park in Iyanomo community in the state capital in 2017.
Oshiomhole, however, said the park had become a “den of robbers and kidnappers”.
“He got Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to do the groundbreaking for an industrial park where he claimed that many Chinese and Singaporeans were anxious to relocate factories and create 300,000 jobs," the former APC chairman said.
