EDHA 2024: Let's put aside sentiments and focus on issues -Edoror

By: Oriaifoh Godwins

The people of Esan Central, Esan land and Edo state in general, has been called upon to focus more on issues based campaigns and jettison campaigns of calumny and sentiments. 

Rt. Hon. Victor Sabor Tiger Edoror, a former Speaker of Edo state House of Assembly, EDHA, made the call recently after the inauguration of the Esan Central All Progressive Congress, APC, Campaign Council that held at the Secretariat of the APC, in Irrua, the headquarters of Esan Central Local Governmet area. 


Speaking, Rt. Hon. Edoror, who is contesting to represent Esan Central constituency in Edo state House of Assembly in the upcoming 2023 election, while urging the members of the campaign council to leave no stone unturned in ensuring all round victories for all APC candidates, added that; '...aside the fact that all the candidates of the All Progressive Congress are in a distinct class of their own, with robust and enviable records of political achievements and otherwise, the party is also more united than before in ensuring that victory is achieved at the end of the day...'.


Continuing, Edoror said, the issues that should bother electorates are; track records and accessibility of the candidate, temerity and will power of the candidates to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people; he added that, the politics of Edo state does not have room for timid and hostile candidates.


Edoror who however regrets that Edo people have in time past allowed sentiments to guide their decisions, such that today, such decisions have resulted to unending regrets, called on all Edo electorates not to allow themselves to be swayed by irrelevant factors this time around.


Rt. Hon. Edoror, who concluded by saying, democracy cannot be shortchanged for anything else, was emphatic on the fact that whatever Esan Central, his constituency, may have lost as a result of the subversion of democracy in Edo state in the past, will be fully reclaimed in the coming dispensation. In his words; '... democracy is nothing else than the will of the majority. The will of my people cannot be subverted... whatever is due to the people of my constituency in time past, in addition to what is due to us in the coming dispensation, will be fully recovered...'
