Find another job for Oshiomhole, Buhari tells APC

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday expressed the hope that the ruling All Progressives Congress would find another assignment for the outgoing Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole.
He said it would result to wasting Oshiomole’s energy if he was allowed to retire immediately after his tenure as a state governor.
According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President spoke at the Palace of the new Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, shortly before he embarked on the inauguration of projects in the state.
Buhari said the country would be the loser if the APC failed to utilise the people’s governor’s wisdom, skill and energy.
He said, “It will be a pity to waste his energy by him retiring. I hope there will be a higher assignment for him to do more for the nation.
“I congratulate the governor for his hard work; Oshiomhole is a hard working governor. We will need his services in Abuja.
“Thank you for inviting me, most especially during this time in the country.
“You have served two terms and you are about to leave. You deserve a place in history. I hope the APC will look for a place for you because your service for the country is far from over.”
Buhari also congratulated the Oba on his enthronement and extended the support of the Federal government to him in his bid to improve the lives of Edo people.
The Oba in his speech expressed delighted on the president’s visit, noting that it was the first since his recent coronation.”
“We believe this is a sign of better things to come. I appreciate your contribution to my coronation,” Oba Ewuare II said.
The royal father who commended the President for appointing Edo indigenes into positions in government appealed for the establishment of an export and import processing zone for agro-allied industries in the state.
He said the venture would stimulate the nation’s economy and create jobs.
