APC Equity Group Issue a communique to draw the attention of political leaders on the perceived Injustice suffered by Owan East- See details
By Naomisophysblog
The APC EQUITY GROUP of Owan East is drawn from all the eleven Wards of the
Local Government. It is a group of persons of like minds who believe in equity and
fairness in the sharing of political positions.
Rising from a well-attended meeting held in Afuze the administrative headquarters
of Owan East Local Government, the group critically examined the political
strength of Owan East and what we get after elections.
The essence of this Communique issued on the 7th May, 2023 is to draw the attention of the Leaders to the
perceived injustice suffered by Owan East when it comes to sharing after every
election.
Owan Federal Constituency is made up of Owan East and Owan West and there is
an unwritten agreement as it relates to zoning and sharing of positions which
presupposes or upholds the principle of equity, justice and fairness.
As a Local Government and Group, we believe in the leadership of Comrade
Adams Aliu Oshiomhole and have absolute confidence in his ability to ensure that
those who work also benefit.
Our attention has been drawn to the repetition of the position of the Board
Member of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in Owan West
instead of this position moving to Owan East if it must remain in Owan Federal
Constituency.
It is also pertinent to mention here that as a group, we completely condemn the
operational mode of appointing persons without electoral value or has nothing to
contribute to our Constituency into positions meant for our Constituency.
We are aware that one Hailmary Ogolo Aipol who has been nominated to the
Board of the North East Development Commission does not vote in Owan or
anywhere in Edo State. She plays her politics in the FCT and as such she will not and can never represent our interest.
We wish to also place it on record that Owan East has been without any political
appointment for some years running now and yet Owan East will always deliver
because we have good, reliable and dependable leadership.
We want our leader, Comrade Adams Aliu Oshiomhole, to take note of the
following facts:
a. That Owan East has always been in the forefront of any of his aspirations as
evidenced in the prompt and timely endorsement of his senatorial ambition
even when other Local Governments were yet to decide.
b. That the only way our leaders can continue to enjoy the support of the
followers is when benefits go to the right persons after election and not
persons who will merely claim our Constituencies for the sake of positions
but have nothing to contribute to our party down home.
c. That an Owan East son leading the rigorous campaigns throughout Edo
North and leading us to the victory we recorded and Owan East not being
the first partakers of the dividends of the election is a step in the wrong
direction.
Consequently, the group unanimously resolved as follows:
1. That the nomination of Hailmary Ogolo Aipol be withdrawn and cancelled and
should be replaced with someone from Owan East who will contribute to the
fortunes of the party in Owan, Edo North and Edo State.
2. That Owan East is due to produce the next Minister that will be coming to
Edo State.
3. That Owan East should be compensated with various appointments in view
of the incurable attachment of Owan East to the APC which has showed in all
the elections.
