Obaseki has taken Edo back to 17th century – David Imuse

Retired Col. David Imuse, the Chairman of the Edo chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC), said Edo State has retrogressed under the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Imuse said this on Monday in Benin in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.

He said: “The government is a total failure, walk on the street of Benin, ask an ordinary man, he will tell you the administration has taken Edo back to the 17th century.

“As far as Edo is concerned today, the government is a monumental failure.

“It is a government that has incapacitated the judiciary; it is a government that has not allowed the legislature to function.

“There is nothing working in Edo, you know it. I do not need to re-emphasize it.”

Imuse, however, noted that PDP is working towards reclaiming what rightfully belonged to it in 2023.

He said: “We hope that with this strategy that we are going to adopt, we will take the party to the next level. Do not forget Edo is an APC state. What we currently have is an aberration.”

Imuse added that his election and inauguration as the state APC chairman was a call to service.

The chairman said that other elected members of the State Working Committee (SWC) would soon be inaugurated to join him in the duty of rescuing the state from maladministration of the PDP.
