Adams Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State and a senator for the Edo North Senatorial District, claims that if he had lost the senatorial election on February 25, his political rivals would have made fun of him.
This was said by Oshiomhole at the post-inauguration/thank you celebration that friends and well-wishers threw for him at his country house, Iyamho, in the state’s Etsako West Local Government Area.

The senator, who served as the APC’s National Chairman in the past, added that he would represent Edo North but that it was his duty to make sure that the state benefited from the federal government under President Bola Tinubu.
He added that he was prepared to give up his desire to run for senator in order to help Tinubu win.
Oshiomhole stated, “If you had voted against me, I don’t know what would have happened. My blood pressure will now be 240/360; that is if I’m still alive. My opponents would have ridiculed me. The jubilations would have been such that they would come and lock my small door and break my small bones, but you said no.
“There were sitting governors who contested the senatorial election across the country and many of them lost. I left office seven years ago and my people still honoured me with victory. How can I thank you enough.”
