EDO STATE: “OSHIO
BABA” AND FAILED PROMISES!
Still
in Edo State, the first 4 years tenure of Comrade Adams Oshiomole was
unarguably eventful. But his later years
are nothing to write home. True, the
State witnessed massive infrastructural changes especially in Benin City where
the Airport Road got a famous facelift. Streets
like Sapele road, Akpakpava and the New Lagos Road also got reprieve. Auchi
also was not left out with new routes created out of the hitherto existing
forests. Schools were reconstructed and made decent.
These
however, pale into insignificance considering the visible failure recorded in
the last phase of his years in office.
Textile Mill road remains an albatross as did many other areas notably
the Aduwawa entrance to Benin. Though
that section is said to belong to the Federal Government, considering the
exposure, it is a huge stain and a dent to Oshiomole’s credibility. Add this to the ordeal he meted to teachers
and the ruse about creating jobs plus his obscene mansion/castle reportedly
worth over 10 billions in Iyamho, and then you will be asking: Does this man
have any morals not to talk of insulting elders? There is also the rumour making the rounds of
his alleged $630 million loot st ashed in a U.S Bank! Whao!
