He said this in Government House, Benin City during a visit by over 2000 market women from 18 local governments.
He said: “I defeated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in all the wards and local governments in the last election and that was because of your massive support.
“After the defeat, a man who claims to be a pastor, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, insisted on being imposed on the people. I refused because I said, as a former SSG, what did you do? “What effort did you make in bringing development to our people? Did you give them electricity? Did you give them water? Did you give them good roads? “How did you influence the government in bringing development to your constituencies? Did you bring hospitals to the people?
“Everywhere I go, people ask me, why did you always allow this man to go with you? Like you have said, in the morning, you see some of them as PDP; at night they become All Progressives Congress (APC) members and how can you commit state resources to such people?”
The governor continued and revealed the dirty ppolitics some people play and then claim to be servants of the Lord.
He assured his citizens that he would not allow these thiefs to lead the state when he eventually leaves church.
He told the market women that his administration will keep on supporting them and said their relationship can be said to be like a Catholic marriage that can never be broken.
