A former national Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he was moved to tears during Saturday’s election.
He, however, disclosed that he was not downcast by the outcome of the Edo State governorship election, which saw Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party, defeat Oshiomhole’s preferred candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the APC.
Oshiomhole had campaigned vigorously for Ize-Iyamu whose loss some people attributed to his influence in the campaign of the APC candidate.
In his first interview since the election, Oshiomhole narrated how he was moved to tears when he saw elderly women who were determined to cast their ballot despite some hitches in the process.
He said rather than get frustrated over how malfunctioning card readers slowed down the process, the people waited patiently.
Oshiomhole said while many expected him to be downcast over the outcome of the exercise, he is feeling good.
