Press Releaseon November 11 at 7:26 . Comment 0 0
Edo PDP has just been reliably informed that Governor Adams Oshiomole and his APC government just released the sum of N30m to APC party chairmen in the eighteen local government areas in the state to mobilize some of the youths it failed to and refused to employ and then stage a protest around Benin City tomorrow Wednesday 11th, 2015. This protest we gathered is in response to the very successful peaceful protest recently organized by the civil society groups where the government was accused of haven lost touch with the people and its anti-people policies were heavily criticized.
We would like to use this medium to advise the governor not to use the scarce state resources for “vendetta” and massage his bruised ego. At this time of imminent economic depression, the governor should adopt a more prudent approach in spending taxpayers money especially when the people have shown that he, as well as his policies have been rejected. He will do well to have a rethink of his style and policies if he wants to fix his very battered image.
We ask the good people of Edo State, parents as well as youths, to refrain from joining this protest in support of a drowning man. You will be enticed with Edo State money, reject it and ask them to use it to fix our dilapidated roads as well as defray the obnoxious Land Use Charge. Let him know that Edo state is not for sale!
Edo PDP…listening to the cries of Edo People!
