Edo Peoples Democratic Party slams Adams Oshiomhole’s constituency palliatives
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State, Shegun Saiki, has blasted Edo Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, over his recent distribution of motor-cycles, grinding machines, sewing machine and cash gifts to some members of the senatorial district.
Saiki, a former member of the Edo State House of Assembly, in a statement on Monday, described Oshiomhole’s action as going back to his vomit
“It is like somebody vomiting and swallowing it back. Which constituency project is he doing after two years in the Senate.
“What can anybody buy with N100,000 in this present economy? Oshiomhole only gave money to people that visited him,” Saiki said.
He recalled that Oshiomhole, in an interview his election to the National Assembly, promised to restructure the way constituency projects are carried out.
Saiki queried the idea of a senator giving out grinding machines and motorbikes as empowerment saying, “That is more offensive. How are you empowering a young man in his 20s with a motorbike? You are destroying him. I think the government must refocus the long term strategy to empower the people.”
Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff to the lawmaker, Victor Oshioke, said his principal built classroom blocks, market stores besides the items distributed.
“What Oshiomhole meant was that a Senator should not be judged by sharing items but by enduring legacies and jobs created,”‘he said.
