The 2015 general elections in Nigeria have finally come and gone, though they were declared inconclusive in some states.
Winners have emerged and by May 29, the present administration will be handing over to newly elected people.
The Edo state chief of staff, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, who is known for his very complicated choice of grammar, has reacted to the general elections.
Speaking with The Punch in an interview said he was not surprised at the marvellous performance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the polls in Edo state.
According to him, it was a reconfirmation that the people of Edo are forever grateful to the governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole, for his tireless efforts.
Speaking on the low turnout of voters for the governorship election he said: “I’m sure the low voter turnout could be attributable to a vaudeville of ratiocinations. The presidential election attracted more voters ostensibly because that was the political elephant and was therefore occasioned with anttendant publicity ballyhoo.
“A vast majority of Nigerians were also righteously indignant of the state of economic quagmire, political phantasmagoria and social disequilibrium the philistine and clueless government of President Jonathan has plummeted the country.
“They saw in the presidential election a sui generis opportunity to get the yoke off their back and that they did ferociously. This passion was not as frenzied in the last election.”
Asked how he would assess the conduct of security operatives during the elections, he said: “The conduct of security operatives in the Assembly elections was certainly an amelioration on their performance two weeks ago in Edo State but the same cannot be said of their modus operandi across the length and breadth of the country. They certainly crossed the line of constitutionalism and democratic propriety in states like Rivers, Akwa Ibom and some others, which is certainly depreciable and outrageously despicable.”
Obahiagbon had contested for the Edo South Senatorial district seat in the APC primaries but he lost to the minority whip of the House of Representatives, Samson Osagie.
Reacting to his loss, Hon. Patrick had said he totally accepted the peoples’ choice.
