Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday, claiming that the party has made life challenging for the state’s residents.
Speaking at his ward meeting in Ward 4, Oredo Local Government Area, Obaseki described the APC as a party rife with deception.
He urged the people to vote against the APC in the upcoming governorship election on September 21.

“APC policies caused inflation in Nigeria and the State; they made life difficult for us and as such they will never be near power again. We are almost 16,000 that have collected PVCs in this ward and now through the Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) exercise, we have added almost 1,500 more persons,” he said.

“There is no progress in their mouths. They have no campaign strategy but are full of lies. We need to come out as we should to frustrate all their plans. Their ways are not straight.
He accused the APC of severe mismanagement of the nation’s economy by the central government, leading to significant hardship and suffering for both the people of Edo State and Nigerians at large.
Obaseki expressed confidence in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s victory in the upcoming election.
He highlighted his government’s exceptional performance across various sectors of the state’s economy over the past eight years, believing it will secure the party’s success in the forthcoming election.
“When I saw your performance on the voters’ registration exercise, I had to commend you for a job well done. I am here to remind you to go and collect your Permanent Voters Card (PVC); it’s ready.
“This election will not be difficult because you have campaigned enough. It’s not my election because when I did my own election, things were not as bad and difficult as they are today. When our people wanted to protest, we appealed to them not to do so because some bad people planned to use the opportunity of the protest to destroy government infrastructure. This election shall be our protest. We shall use the election to tell them that APC as a party is forbidden in Edo State,” he stated.
