Lagos - Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) top notcher and convener of Oshiomhole Independent Campaign Organisation, (OICO) Mr. Emmanuel Agbaje has said that Edo State people should protect their collective interest of ensuring the re-election of Adams Oshiomhole as Governor in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
At the inaugural meeting in Lagos of the campaign organisation made up of core Edo State professionals, appointed and elected political office holders, Mr. Agbaje observed that Comrade Governor Oshiomhole’s rating has never dwindled since becoming Governor.
“According to Robert Schuller, ‘whatever you do today, do better tomorrow’. Oshiomhole has shown to Edo State people both at home and in the Diasporas that he will adhere strictly to budgetary provisions, rather than pursue implementation of programmes that could be described as alien to the budget.
What other yardstick do you use in measuring performance than structures on ground,” he said.
Mr. Abgaje further explained that a visit to Edo state will convince one of the physical transformation that has taken place, adding that this showed Governor Oshiomhole’s level of commitment to alleviate the sufferings of the people.
The Director of organisation for the Oshiomhole Independent Campaign, Mr. Dominic Odigo said the body has increasing membership strength on daily basis which explains the overwhelming popularity of the ACN controlled state.
“Our plan is to return Oshiomhole to power using every available resource within our reach to impact on the minds of Edo state indigenes to come home that day and vote for their conscience. Parents can now heave a big sigh of relief as their children’s education has greatly been subsidized by our comrade Governor” he stated.
“We can gladly say that PDP is bereft of ideas on how to make things work for the Edo state they plundered for ten years.
If not, what are the political, economic or social antecedents of General Charles Airhiavbere to merit the position of a Governor? We are aware a lot of money has been penciled down by PDP to buy the conscience of Edo state people but this will not help them as the people know better”, he opined.
Mr. Odigo however said that OICO would visit all the state capitals to sensitize Edo State indigenes on the need to come home to lend support to ensure Oshiomhole is re-elected for a second tenure.
