Daniel Bwala, ex-aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has described as shameful and regrettable, All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Monday Okpebholo, saying he will not go to Arise TV because Edo people can’t afford DSTV.
Okpebholo is the APC candidate for the forthcoming the Edo State governorship election.
Bwala in a post on his X handle on Thursday advised Okpebholo to invite TV house of his choice and discuss his policies in the language of his choice.
According to him, Edo is a rich state with reasonable economic standards. He stressed that the people deserve more.
The post read: “APC governorship campaign in Edo has to do more; So far the narrative is ineffective. For a stakeholder to say the governorship candidate will not go to Arise TV because Edo people can’t afford DSTV is shameful and regrettable
“The simple answer could have been to say that the candidate will visit the network station of his choice and appear there for interview
“Edo is a rich state with reasonable economic standards; and definitely not among the states bankrupt to the point the people can’t afford DSTV. Haba!
“I will advise Mr Monday Okpebholo to invite TV house of his choice and convenience, in a convenient location at his expense and discuss his policies in the language of his choice.
“English language is not a test of intelligence; French, Germans, Italians and Spanish people don’t speak English and they govern their countries well Edo people deserve more.”
