Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has promised that if re-elected as governor of the state, he would immortalise the three journalists that died in an accident involving his convoy penultimate Saturday, with the building of an edifice to be called Democracy House in their memory.
The three journalists were Olatunji Jacob and George Okosun, both of the Independent Television (ITV,) and Fidelis Ohani of the African Independent Television (AIT).
Oshiomhole made the promise on Tuesday at Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area of the state, where he kicked-off his re-election campaign in the Edo Central senatorial district of the state.
The governor restated that the accident was orchestrated to take his life, saying “We must call a spade by its only name. I have been saying the truth for a long time and I have survived it, because when they ask me who I am, I say I am the son of God. They planned to kill me but they could not.”
Besides, Governor Oshiomhole said if re-elected, “we will deploy Edo resources to address the challenges of Edo people and there is no going back.”
According to him, “politicians refuse us to canvass issues, they will whip up tribalism and after election, they will pocket resources, they don’t share what they steal with you but when they are looking for it, they will say na we we. I want you to know that the only thing that will benefit you is what government do for you.”
