PDP Plotting To Impeach Me – Governor Oshiomhole
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Wednesday said there are plots by the ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) to impeach him.
The Governor who said the PDP have plans on persuading members of the state House of Assembly to impeach him made this confirmation when he received youths under the aegis of Initiative for Youth Awareness, Migration, Immigration, Development and Integration.
It was reported in April that Governor Oshiomhole's aide, Mr Agharese Idubor alongside no fewer that 150 APC members in the state defected to PDP while the governor has described this move as a way of causing chaos and confusion in the state.
Oshiomhole said Edo people would soon understand the real issues behind the defection of some APC members.
He lamented that the bane of Nigerian politics was such that those who never struggled for democracy took over the political structure of the country said: “They brought a lot of money from Abuja, paying assembly members whom we campaigned for. We marketed some of these people who are not known in their neighbourhood. They rode on my back to get to the House of Assembly.
“Some of them cannot walk on their streets. They collected, as I read in the papers, huge sums of money for them to decamp, to mortgage, to put on sale the mandate that you all, in your respective areas, gave them on the basis of their promise that they will work with me to deliver the state.
“They have become merchants of mandates. And I hear they want to bring more money to buy more people. Let them bring, but the day the devil rises to say that he will dare what God has willed, they will increase the fire power in hell.”
