Legit.ng gathered that he said that those who became overnight letter writers were the people who governed as absolute rulers when they were in power.
He said: “Those who are writing letters now. Those who have become unelected advisers. They governed as absolute rulers for almost three years. They came back eight years, what did they do about second Niger bridge? And then he wanted to take us to Mugabe where there is no end of tenure.
“Those who have spoken before me have spoken concerning all the initiatives and infrastructural projects that are going on in this part of the country. This is not to say everything is now fine. It is a journey. We cannot fix in three years, what PDP didn’t do in sixteen years.
“What they didn’t fix in 16 years, they said we should have fixed it in three years. And then they said we should stop the blame game.”
The former Edo governor also canvassed for support for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential elections, noting that the president would sustain his developmental projects if re-elected in 2019.
He said: “If President Buhari is doing what he is doing in the southeast right now, he will certainly do more in 2019."
This is the first outing by the newly elected national chairman of the APC.
Oshiomhole was sworn in on Sunday, June 24, by the Attorney-General of the federation and minister of justice, Abubakar Malami, as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
