Populist and progressives

Adams Oshiomhole current governor of Edo state has been hot in the news recently. Following the victory of Buhari and the APC in the recent polls both at national and state levels, Oshiomhole appears to be assuming a larger profile in national matters particularly where it concerns the management of the nations treasury and oil wealth. The issues Oshiomhole has been harping on are serious matters and deserve to be clarified with utmost seriousness and sense of responsibility.

How did you become progressive?

A lot of it has to do with my upbringing. Financially speaking, we were not well off at all. I grew up getting free lunches at school. I grew up with the sense of always seeing the rich getting richer and the poor staying stagnant or getting worse. How did you win your primary?

We had an intense ground game. We did a massive get-out-the-vote campaign where we printed off these Post-it notes that had all the details of the primary and what time you could vote and a little bit about me.

I put up myself the day before the primary in Staunton. I went home with bloody, blistery feet at the end of the day. Populist and progressives are this very inclusive campaign that resonated with a lot of people who are ready for bold, progressive change in their lives and in their district.

Jennifer Lewis Donald Trump won your district by almost 25 points. Why do you think you have a chance?

I understand why people voted for Donald Trump. People are ready for a change. I have already heard from people outside the party who are already supporting me.

Yesterday, I heard from a conservative Republican who is throwing support behind me because of the immigration issue. Just one other thing I would like to point out: Less than half the population in the district shows up to vote.

Why not run as a moderate? We have all of these thoughts and ideas about how the political system works. But Trump threw all of that out the window when he won. Most of the pundits got it wrong. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton had it in the bag. I am getting a lot of support from libertarians who love my stance on private property rights and eminent domain, and also that I want to legalize hemp and marijuana.

What are some issues you care about? How much support do you expect from the Democratic Party of Virginia? I am actually representing more of the Democrats and Democratic committees than the governor, unfortunately, on this issue.

Republicans, independents and libertarians see that as: I will always put the 6th District ahead of everything else. Jennifer Lewis Is your opposition to the pipeline rooted in a concern for the environment or for property rights? We are called the Headwaters because our water goes to everybody downstream and provides safe, clean, pristine drinking water for millions of people downstream from us.
