'In life, you win some, you lose some'' - Oshiomhole breaks silence after Edo polls
Adams Oshiomhole
Former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has spoken for the first time since his preferred candidate, Osagie Iye-Iyamu lost the just-ended Edo elections to incumbent governor, Godwin Obaseki.
Oshiomhole, a former godfather of Obaseki moved mountains against his political godson after they fell out. Despite his attempt to remove him from office and replace him with Pastor Ize-Iyamu, Obaseki was declared the winner after the polls.
Speaking in a video cited by Mynigeria.com, Oshiomole stated that in life, you win some and lose some. He added that he is not in any way feeling down over the outcome of the election.
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," he said.
Oshiomhole continued: "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''
