Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has talked after his annointed candidate in the Edo state gubernatorial election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu lost to the incumbent governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki.
Oshiomhole who was in a protracted battle with Governor Obaseki, campaigned against Obaseki and wanted the governor to be removed from office and substituted with Pastor Ize-Iyamu but Obaseki won the election convincingly.
In a video that was recorded while working out in his gym, Oshiomhole said that in life, you win some and lose some. Adding that he is not in any way sad over the election’s outcome.
He said: “You know in life, you work hard and leave God for the outcome. You do your best and trust God to bless your effort.
“I feel good. I feel healthy. I thank God. I feel strong, I thank God.
“In life, you win some and you lose some but life goes on.
“I want to thank everybody. I am sure a lot of people think that Comrade must be down. When God says you are not down, you are not down and I am not down.”
While speaking further, he said: ”I ask our people to have faith in our country. They cannot have another country. I have only one passport. I am not about to have any other passport. This is our country. We must make it great. We must strengthen democracy, we must improve on it.
“No matter the outcome of an election, have faith in God and have faith in our country.”
