It is a lie, Oshiomole is 61 and not 60, He must be punished says Edo PDP

Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole lied about his real date of birth, the state’s chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Monday.

According to Chief Dan Orbih, state chairman of PDP who made the accusation at a press briefing, the governor should have been celebrating his 61st instead of the 60th he celebrated last week, because he was truly born on 4th April 1952.

He recalled that in May, 2012, the governor deposed to an affidavit at a High Court in the state that he was born on April 4, 1952.

“In the history of the world, no one was born two times. But this is happening in Edo State,” said Orbih, who urged Bishop Matthew Kukah to conduct a confession mass for Oshiomhole.

“This, to us is perjury. This to us is unacceptable. This to us is labour rascality. You can never deepen democracy on falsehood or by telling lies to the people. The documents we have in our possession are enough to send Oshiomhole to prison.”

He argued that since erstwhile Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Alhaji Salisu Buhari and late Senate President, Chief Evans Enwerem were punished for a similar offence, the Edo governor’s case should not be any different. - OsunDefender
