Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Tuesday described the present hardship experienced by Nigerians as a direct result of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 16 years misrule.
Oshiomhole stated this at a campaign rally for the All Progressive Congress governorship candidate in the state, Mr Godwin Obaseki, at Ikhin and Amoya, Owan East Local Government Area of the state.
He said the PDP leadership used funds meant to develop the country to line their pockets.
He urged the people to be patient with the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, saying the government is working hard to fix the problems.
He urged the Edo people to punish the PDP with their votes.
“The PDP caused this hardship we are all going through. They pocketed the money meant to buy arms to prosecute the Boka Haram urgency in the Northeast.
“They also stole funds meant to construct roads, build airports and hospitals. They also caused the dollars to be far higher than the naira.
“But while we are pained, I will urge you all to continue to punish them with your votes,” he said.“
