GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, yesterday, said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has run out of lies and was fishing for new ones, after failing with the School Certificate lie they tried to pin on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking during an inspection of road projects which culminated in a campaign at the Egor market in Upper Siluko area of the state capital, Oshiomhole said: “I am happy that you people are following what is happening and one young man said even if Buhari doesn’t have a school certificate, if it’s just a NEPA bill he presents as certificate, it’s enough as the people will vote for him.

Another said the other man has a doctorate in Zoology, but we can’t even get fish on our tables.
“The truth is that everybody is tired. Today, in this market, I am sure you don’t have electricity. We have provided the electric poles and the transformer but they will not give us power. So, the only solution is, after 16 years of PDP, they have exhausted their lies. We had to bring General Buhari because we want a leader with courage. When he says he will do something, he does it. We don’t want a leader that will make promises during campaigns but will disappear after the campaigns.
“Today in Edo, they have enriched a few individuals, and they are telling us they are going to bring a lot of money to buy our votes. When they bring the money collect it, it’s the money they stole from you, but we will not vote for them.”
He urged the people who have not collected their Permanent Voter’s Card, PVC, to do so by going to the nearest Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, office at the local government areas, so as to be able to vote for APC candidates at all levels.
