Speaking during a thank you
and farewell visit to the Governor in his office, the elder statesman Dr.
Samuel Ogbemudia, said he would spend a full day if allowed, to talk about the
good records of the outgoing governor
The two term governor of the
defunct Midwest Region and Bendel State, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, has given kudos
to Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, saying the outgoing governor has done
well in eight years while his achievements were unquantifiable.
He said: “I am here to
thank Comrade Oshiomhole, for taking care of me throughout his tenure. People
have come to me to ask, what have I got
to say about Comrade Oshiomhole and most importantly what have I got to say
about his achievements.
What he has done, and my
answer is simple. I said, if I spend the whole day narrating what he has done,
there is no newspaper or television house that will have time for that. So, let
us discuss what he has not done. We spent the next two minutes going round and
there was nothing left.
So, he has done everything
that needed to be done by anybody occupying this position for eight years. “If
there is anything to be done, and we are expecting that he should complete
everything, then the constitution should be amended to allow him to continue,
but unfortunately or fortunately, the constitution of Nigeria does not allow a
governor or head of state to stay for more than two tenures. And those two
tenures he has completed creditably.”
