2024 Edo Guber Ward/Unit Results Should Be Yardstick For Rewards. -Oduma
By Oriaifoh Godwins
The attention of Edo state governor, as well as all the critical stakeholders in Edo State All Progressives Congress, APC, has been drawn to the brewing acrimonies amongst the party members, as a result of the marginalization of some persons, in spite of their sacrifices and efforts towards winning the September 21st Edo guber.
The above observation was made by an old and passionate APC member, that played a key role in the Mobilisation Unit of the Edo central Gubernatorial Campaign Council, as the Deputy Director, Mobilisation, Chief Robert Okoinemen, aka Oduma of the Universe.
Speaking with Winning Media Online, today, Monday, November 25th 2024, Chief Okoinemen who condemned the way and manner some leaders in Esan North East local government area viciously removed some persons' names from the compiled Commissioners' list, and replaced same with their choice persons, said; "Uzea is one Ward, and apart from this, Uzea is a Kingdom. It is absolutely wrong to pencil down five names from Esan North East, without even one name from Uzea. Is that not satanic"?
"Again, the so called leaders that lost their booths and also lost their Wards, are the ones that are given the responsibility of deciding who should be Commissioners. Is APC not by this, encouraging failures in future elections, as this is a clear disincentive to those of us that won ours"?
"How can they draw a list from a Ward that lost in the election, and leave out a Ward that won"? He asked.
Continuing, Chief Okoinemen said; "it is even more painful to see that, the same people that criticized the my support for Akpakomiza, saying he is not fit to be governor, same so called leaders that were given money to work and deliver their Wards, but ended up in using the money for their personal issues, are now the ones that are deciding who gets what"
In view of the above, Chief Okoinemen called on the governor of Edo state, Governor Monday Okpebholo, the Edo state APC Chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, the Edo central Senatorial leader, Gen. Cecil Esekhaigbe Rtd, as well as other stakeholders in Edo APC, to disregard the Commissioners' List from Esan North East Local Government Area, as it is not a true reflection of the sacrifice made in the winning of the September Edo state gubernatorial election, saying; loyalty, performance, commitment and the volume of votes scored, should be the yardstick for the compilation of such list".
Chief Robert Okoinemen, is an APC member from Esan North East local government area, that played a very vital role from the beginning of the 2024 Edo gubernatorial process to the end. He is the dogged and rugged APC Deputy Director of Mobilization, in Edo central senatorial district of the party's campaign council.
