Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has questioned what the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will do differently from what President Bola Tinubu will do for the people of Akwa Ibom State.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign rally in Uyo on Friday, Oshiomhole asked if Obi would cancel the South-South Development Commission.
He said the commission was created by President Bola Tinubu to bring development to the South-South, adding that it is for Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and Edo States.
According to him, Tinubu did not just create the commission on paper but also funded it, adding that thousands of children from poor homes in Akwa Ibom are in university because of the student loan.
“When Peter Obi comes, ask him, will you cancel the South-South Development Commission? Ask him, will you keep it or will you cancel it? If he says he will cancel it, you will know he came to deceive you.
“Ask him, will you bring back multiple exchange rates where only the connected get dollars cheap? If Peter Obi could not fix Anambra State in eight years, how can he look you korokoro in the eye and say he will do it in four years? He just wants turn-by-turn democracy,” Oshiomhole claimed.
