The former National Chairman of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) arrived in his hometown, Iyamho in Etsako West LGA, Edo State amidst cheers and applause from jubilant crowd that flouted the Covid-19 social distancing rule as they trooped out to welcome him.
He arrived the state for the time since he left office as the National Chairman. His hometown supporters came out in their numbers to hail him.
He told that crowd that he was back home to reclaim the state from PDP.
While speaking about the September 19 governorship election mainly between APC’s Governorship Candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oshiomhole told the crowd that if Edo residents say, ‘yes’ and God says, ‘yes’, no man born of a woman could say, ‘no’.
He said: “I am back and ready for the job. The snake that entered our family home, God has driven the snake to where he belongs. I have come home to join you and start the process of reclaiming the house to the family of APC.
“I have only one mission and I know it is our common mission, which is to bring Edo back to the path of sustainable development.
“We shall bring back the era of red roof. We want to bring back roads with drainage. We want to bring back those lofty days when we engaged our youths and we mixed with the elders.
“We want to return to the government of the people, by the people and for the people.”
