A people-centered group in Owan Local Government Area of Edo State, the Owan Concerned Citizens have warned against planned imposition of candidates who are not approved by the populace in the selection of commissioner nominees in Edo State.
The group in a Press Statement signed by its leader, Comrade Ohioze Ikhide said it has uncovered a sinister plan by a few persons who are trying to use the Deputy Governor’s Office for their heinous plans.
They said the Edo State Governor in his wisdom has said leaders should nominate people from the area to represent 3 males and 2 females. Dates were fixed for the submission of credentials and screening, headed by Prof. Agbonlahor, with reports duly signed and sent to Mr. Governor Godwin Obaseki for an appointment, as was done for the SSAs and SAs from the grass root.
“All these were done in principles and the understanding of the leaders”, they said.
“Why are names now filtering into the already made list and are been changed using persons, in the Deputy Governor’s Office to perpetuate this wicked act? Let us unite to fight this cankerworm that wants to eat up the polity of our land by bringing the wrong persons into the system by the means of ‘na my pinkin syndrome’.
We are bringing these issues to leaders concerned to act accordingly for them not destroy the good working relationship the people have with their lenders, the group stated.
“This is the set time to arise and bring development to our Motherland by joining hands with our dear Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki to actualize the Edo Dream.
“But how can we do this? This is a question that desires an answer.
We must collaborate with the result-oriented and people-centered government.“We must say bye-bye to politics of Self-Centeredness and it must be my Son/Daughter mentality.
We must work together in truism.
