2nd Term: ACN, USA Chapter Endorses Oshiomhole

BENIN CITY - The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) New England Chapter, United States of America has resolved to support the candidature of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for a second term in office as governor of Edo State.

The decision of the group, conveyed to The NIGERIAN OBSERVER yesterday via email, is hinged on the governor’s unprecedented performance in the past 42 months in office as Governor of Edo State.

According to the statement endorsed by the Group’s Chairperson, (ACN-NEC) USA Hon. Presley Obasohan, “we are committed to making sure that the July 14, 2012 election is free and fair and to ensure the successful re-election of the comrade governor, come July 14, 2012”.

He emphasised that “as a first step toward our resolve that “Power remains”, we are urging all Edo State citizens to shun any and all attempts by the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), or any other political party to confuse, buy their conscience with money or material gifts”.

The ACN, New England Chapter domiciled in the USA advised all Edos to stand for economic and infrastructural developments as evidenced in the administration of the comrade governor, rather than infrastructure decay and poverty under the PDP-led administration.

The statement pointed out that there was clear difference between the administrations of preceding PDP and the present ACN-led administration of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole which has started repositioning Edo State to regain its lost glory and heritage. It, therefore, stressed that the only way to sustain the developmental stride was for all Edos to come out in their numbers to vote for the ACN and its governorship flagbearer, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole on July 14, 2012.

While expressing its appreciation to Comrade Oshiomhole, who recently marked 59th birthday for his great leadership and true understanding of the sufferings of the people of Edo State, the group prayed God for his protection, and advised all undecided voters to toe the right path, the right party and the right Governor in person of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as they go to the poll on July 14, 2012.
