Oshiomhole Defends Son’s Qualification to be Edo Commissioner
Adams Oshiomhole, former Governor of Edo State, has spoken out in defense of his son’s qualifications to be appointed a Commissioner in the state’s government. According to Oshiomhole, his son’s credentials and experience make him more than capable of fulfilling the role and contributing meaningfully to the state’s development.
In a recent statement, Oshiomhole explained that his son’s educational background and professional accomplishments qualify him for public office. The former governor expressed confidence that his son would bring value to the administration, noting that his appointment was not based on favoritism but on merit.
Oshiomhole emphasized that public service should be about competence and the desire to make a positive impact, rather than being influenced by personal relationships or status. His defense comes amid scrutiny from some quarters, questioning the fairness of family members being appointed to government positions.
The former governor further stressed that his son had been exposed to various developmental programs and had demonstrated a commitment to public service. Oshiomhole’s comments reflect a broader debate in Nigerian politics about dynastic influence in government and the qualifications needed for public office.
This announcement has sparked mixed reactions, with supporters praising Oshiomhole’s stance on merit-based appointments, while critics argue that such appointments perpetuate nepotism in Nigerian politics.
As Edo State prepares for the upcoming changes in its political landscape, all eyes are on the newly appointed figures and their ability to deliver on promises of good governance.
