EDO 2024 GUBER: Like Ngwo, Ngwo, Ngwo Dance, PDP Failure Is Evident Everywhere
By: Oriaifoh Godwins
The Political developments in Edo state in the past close to eight years now, have been very interesting, and I must say, 'negatively eventful', as Edo people witnessed the era of '4+4 Torgba', we have seen them dance 'pepper Dem, Bolanle pepper Dem ooo', we have heard them lied that some leaders are asking for Edo state money to be shared to them, we have heard them said to hell with godfathers; we have heard and seen the worst of it all, in the past eight years now.
Funny enough, some of those that cooked and shared all the lies and deceits, have now defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, to continue doing what they know how to do best: 'lying and deceiving the gullible Edo people, so they can continue to earn their dirty living, not minding the deplorable condition the people are living in'. Such crooks call themselves politicians...SICK!
The question is: "What have Edo people not heard and seen from the current PDP leadership of Edo state?
Today, with just a couple of months to the September 2024 Edo governorship election, the MENE, MENE, TEKEL URPHASON clearly written on the wall, that points to the fact that the PDP led government of Mr. Godwin Obaseki is now two months to exit; can be seen even by the blind.
Our PDP GUBER aspirant, Asuelimen Ighodalo, has been speaking queens English to communicate with embittered, frustrated and deceived Edo people who no longer have any interest or confidence in the electioneering process because of the loud but unfulfilled promises of Obaseki's administration. The apathy and resentment of Edo people towards politicking and political process, is glaring, but good enough for the PDP, the fund is available to turn things around in their favor, but is APC willing and ready to match the PDP in this bout?
Fourteen constituencies of Edo state, has not forgotten how their representatives were schemed out of exclusion of governance for four years, as a result of the midnight inauguration of Edo state House of Assembly, that memory is still very fresh in the minds of the people.
Edo people are angry for the way insecurity has become the order of the day. Edo people are embittered because of the emasculation of Ambrose Alli University that Obaseki promised will become a world class University, but that university is now a shadow of itself; People of Edo state have not forgotten how Gelegele sea port, Edo North airport, and several other audio projects has only existed in their brains.
Hmmmm.....Edo state has never had it this bad.
Time has come again, for people in government to beg for support and ask for votes; but the question to ask is: "Are Edo people wiser now"? In my own opinion, a good percentage of Edo people are now wise, and are definitely showing it by their actions.
