From Tony Osauzo, Benin
The Director of Publicity, Edo APC Campaign Organization, Comrade Orobosa Omo-Ojo, JP, yesterday, said no analysis of junk data coming from any onlooker, observing from his armchair in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere outside Edo State will abort the plan of stakeholders to own their destiny.
In apparent reaction to comments by Television Houses and political analysts on the forthcoming gubernatorial election in in Edo State, Omo-Ojo stated that “Edo people will not allow rent seekers to peddle plagiarized figures and data that does not reflect the physical conditions in Edo State.
“It is unethical for pseudo-commentators to make spurious judgements on the state of affairs in Edo, except someone who has gone round the 18 local government areas”.
In a statement in Benin, Omo-Ojo said with exactly 21 days to the watershed governorship election in the state, the All Progressives Congress is glad to tell Nigerians that Edo people have demonstrated their unequivocal decision to take back the state from the present political bandits that have plundered their commonwealth.
He said the People’s resolve is strengthened by the infrastructural decay across the state which has exacerbated the socioeconomic crises, caused by wanton neglect of the rural dwellers.
“Therefore, Edo people can only score Governor Godwin Obaseki and his People’s Democratic Party with the works done or undone in tangible pillars such as roads, schools, hospitals, agriculture, land administration, culture, and relationship with our treasured traditional institutions when they will be casting their votes for freedom on September 21, 2024.
“They will not be confounded about their difficulties and dangers they are presently facing or be deceived about the prosperity they enjoyed during the eight years of APC administration under the leadership of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. They will rationalize these glaring contrast on September 21, 2024 to reclaim and reset Edo to the past glory that APC attained in state.
“The statement made by our State Chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe that Edo State has been pushed below poverty line by Governor Obaseki and as such, majority of the poor rural dwellers are unable to buy Android phones or data, aptly defines the miserable hardship that has been caused by the PowerPoint administration of PDP in Edo State”.
The statement pointed out that “Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. Only the poor whose rice and other grains were diverted by Obaseki can decide on their life survival strategies”.
