An
All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Edo State,
Blessing Agbomhere, has vowed to probe the government of incumbent
Governor Adams Oshiomhole if elected into office, declaring that being
members of the same political party would not deter him from looking
into the books of the Oshiomhole administration and those before him.
37-year-old
Agbomhere from Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State also
took a swipe on the loans so far collected by the government of Governor
Oshiomhole, remarking that the loans were collected without repayment
procedures.
The
aspirant, who spoke at a press briefing in Benin on Tuesday, expressed
optimism in winning the APC governorship ticket, boasting that “I have
consulted widely with delegates of the party and more than 2,600
delegates are already behind him.”
Agbomhere,
who said he was unmoved by the financial wealth of other APC
governorship aspirants, pointed out that he decided to contest the Edo
State governorship election in order to provide jobs and hope for
hundreds of thousands of unemployed youths in the state.
He
said, “you can’t collect loan without a procedure of how to pay back.
You cannot take loan and expect the next government to pay back; you
must set up a platform for the loan to be repaid. Government must learn
how to do business.
My
government will abolish corruption in Edo State. That is why the
programme we have is to ensure that all our past leaders are probed.
Whether they like it or not, we will ensure that whatever they have
taken from Edo state, whatever they have wasted from Edo state, they
will bring back. And I will start from Comrade Adams, the present
governor of Edo state.
“We
will visit all the projects he has done to ascertain how much he has
spent on the projects and if we see that Edo State has been
shortchanged, we will ensure that such monies are refunded to the
account of Edo State. UrhopotaReporters
