The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Chairman in Edo State, Dan Orbih, has accused Governor Adams Oshiomhole of spending N10.048 million to renovate the toilet at the Government House, Benin City.
This is coming on the heels of accusations by the party that the All Progressives Congress, APC governor wasted N142 million to host the presidential candidate of the APC, Muhammadu Buhari in Benin City.
Orbih, made the allegation at the formal flag-off of the campaign of candidates of the party held in Igarra and Auchi.
According to him, Oshiomhole “signed and approved a voucher, Ext/Gov/Ghsp/2486/14) for the sum of N10, 048,000 to repair the governor’s toilet”.
He lamented that the APC government has turned Edo State into a “theatre of expensive shit”, and that the late Afro juju musician, “Fela will turn in his grave to know that his song, “Expensive Shit”, has found true expression in Governor Adams Oshiomhole.”
Orbih called on the people of Edo State and Nigerians in general to vote out APC “as they don’t mean well for the people as corruption and impunity has become the norm in Adams Oshiomhole’s Government hence he continues to think of creative ways to bleed the state.”
He said voting in a PDP-controlled House of Assembly would stop this hemorrhage.
However, the state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Louis Odion, while dismissing the allegation with a wave of hand, said: “PDP has nothing to campaign with in the state; this is why they are forging vouchers so as to have something to tell their supporters.”
