Sen. Adams Oshiomhole has said that if he lost his senatorial ambition, his blood pressure would have risen to 360 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)
Oshiomhole said this during the post inauguration/thank you party hosted in his honour by friends and well-wishers at his country home, Iyamho, Etsako, Edo, on Saturday.
“If you have voted against me, I don’t know my blood pressure will now be 240/0360, that is if I’m still alive.
“Because the jubilations by the opponent would have been such that they will come and lock my small door and break my small bones, but you said no”, Oshiomhole told his audience.
Oshiomhole said that many governors lost their bids to become senator, adding that it would have been a shame to him if he also lost.
He thanked the people of Edo North for voting for him as a senator, after leaving office as governor.
He also thanked the people for voting for President Bola Tinubu at the presidential election, adding that Edo-North district was the only district where Tinubu won in Edo.
He pledged his commitment to represent Edo North very well, adding that he has an obligation to ensure that the state benefited more from Tinubu’s administration.
“There were sitting governors who contested for 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?
