GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of
Edo state has urged Nigerians to be
patient with the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari,
saying that it will take some time to
fix the nation’s economy which
according to him was battered by
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
for 16 years.

Oshiomhole made this appeal
shortly after Lagos lawyer, Femi
Falana (SAN), hinted jokingly, while
delivering a lecture at the 60th
birthday celebration of the
Secretary to the Edo state
Government, Prof.Julius Ihonvbere,
that he may soon embark on a
probe to review the performance of
President Buhari.

However, Oshiomhole who
acknowledged the current
difficulties being faced by
Nigerians asserted that the APC led
government in the country is
working round the clock to find
solutions to the problems.

The governor said: “Changes takes
time, not only in the life of a
person but more also in the life of a
nation. This a country that was run
down for 16 years by PDP.
The APC government is going to
achieve sincere change for
Nigerians and we are working
towards that”.

Commending Prof. Ihonvbere for
helping his administration kick out
the PDP government in Edo state,
Oshiomhole said “Let me thank you
for that honour for joining forces
with us to sustain the fight against
the forces that don’t think that Edo
is entitled to development.

And working side by side, we have
cleaned up the political space.
“Even now that the umbrella has
turned into three pieces, they are
still boasting.

When Edo was under one man’s
rule, those voices were loud, they
would have told you whether or not
there is
And working side by side, we have

“Even now that the umbrella has
turned into three pieces, they are

When Edo was under one man’s
rule, those voices were loud, they
would have told you whether or not
there is vacancy in Osadebey
Avenue.

As you can see working together,
strategizing together, mobilising
together, for refusing to agonise we
are standing and they are down.

“There is no way I would have
been able to achieve all these
without the encouragement that
you (Ihonvbere) have always
readily offered, in a moment of
doubt when we are strategizing” he
stated.

Expressing his gratitude to
Oshiomhole for “saving me from
that wicked hands of the PDP in the
state” Ihonvbere said “ I will
continue to say that the courage he
(Oshiomhole) has deployed in
repositioning and refocusing Edo
state is unparalleled.

“The next governor has a lot of
work to do because to meet the
standard already met requires 24
hours attention. But the good thing
is that the Comrade Governor will
not be too far away to assist with
his advice” he said.
