Governor Obaseki is a liability and his performance in office is woeful - Governor Ganduje

-

 

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state has stated that Edo state Governor, Godwin Obaseki's performance in office is woeful. 

 

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council for Edo governorship elections said this while answering questions from State House Correspondents in Abuja on Friday, August 7. 

 

Ganduje described Obaseki as a liability to his new political party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and a blessing to the APC.

 

He said; 


“Your question is that we are contesting against a serving governor in Edo State. Yes, that is a very important question at this material time. It could be a big problem if the governor performs well while governing his state.

"He could have been an asset to PDP. But I assure you that the governor is a liability. In fact, it’s even better for us that we are contesting against a serving governor who failed woefully. He failed woefully in the area of human development.

“He failed woefully in the area of providing infrastructural facilities to the good people of Edo State, he failed most woefully in the execution of constitutional provision in the state, especially pertaining to the legislature.

“14 members were out of the legislature for 13 good months. When we calculated, we saw that 14 legislators are representing 60 per cent of the population. All of their constituents are unhappy that elected legislators were not given the chance to participate in the legislation in that state. In fact, all the legislations made should be considered illegal.

“So, we are ready to fight somebody who has failed and it’s an advantage to us."
