Lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, Sen. Adams Oshiomhole, said he would have died of humiliation from his political enemies if he had not won election into the red chamber.
Sen. Oshiomhole said this at his country home in Iyamho, Etsako West local government of Edo State during the post inauguration/thank you party held in his honour by friends and well wishers.
He said the people of Edo North wanted him to repeat what he did for the state as governor and that was why he was elected, adding that he would ensure that the district and the state get the benefit dividends of democracy from the All Progressives Congress (APC) led President Bola Tinubu administration.
“I don’t know what would have happened if you had voted against me. My blood pressure would have shot up and that is if I’m still alive.
“The jubilations by the opponent would have been such that they will come and lock my small door and break my small bones and harassed me out, but you said no. I thank Afemai people for that.
“There were sitting governors who contested for the senate across the country and many of them lost, I left office seven years ago and my people still honoured me with victory, how can I thank you enough?”
