Don’t Vote PDP, Vote APC, NCP Urges Edo lites, Says Obaseki Committed More Than 50 Sins.
By Cyriacus Nnaji
Leadership of the National Conscience Party (NCP) in Edo State has issued out advisory to the good people of Edo State to vote parties other than the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming State Assembly Election on Saturday March 18, 2023.
In a circular titled ‘A clarion call on Edolites in the face of the upcoming House of Assembly Election on Saturday, March 18, 2023’, signed and made available to the media by the Deputy National Chairman of NCP (South-South) Pastor Peters Omoragbon, the group accused Governor Obaseki of committing more than 50 sins.
“The NCP urges Edolites to come out in their numbers on Saturday, March 18, 2023, to vote mainly candidates from the opposition political parties in Edo State. This is the only way we can put Governor Obaseki under effective Check and ensure that Edo State move genuinely forward,” the circular read.
The circular reads in full: The writing of this piece has become compelling following the antics being played by Governor Godwin Obaseki on the good people of Edo State as this all-important election is fast approaching. Indeed, the National Conscience Party (NCP) is watching with laughter how Governor Obaseki is busy moving from ward to ward, local government to local government and from one part of Edo State to another begging the electorates to vote his PDP cronies otherwise called candidates into Edo State House of Assembly.
The question is has Ematon (meaning Iron which he prides himself with) suddenly become melted/humbled that he too can now be begging whereas he had over time refused to be begged for anything or accept to respect the legitimate rights of Edolites who he had been victimizing?.
Our dear Edo People, let us come to the facts of the matter. Edolites made all sacrifices in 2020 to renew Governor Obaseki’s mandate voting massively for him out of sympathy and solidarity at a time he was rightly or wrongly perceived to be oppressed or victimized by the then prevailing APC hierarchy.
No sooner the second term mandate was renewed for him than he transformed into a thin god who comfortably pocketed Edo State as he alongside his Deputy and Secretary to the State Government had become the cabal determining the affairs of the State. First, these three musketeers crippled the state House of Assembly by working with only nine out of a suppose 24-member Edo State House of Assembly for all the period Governor Obaseki had been holding sway since 2016 to date.

Little surprise that the State House of Assembly was moved for a longer period of time to the old Exco Chamber in Edo State Government House for sittings while its overriding function was to rubber-stamp all “opinions” of the three musketeers which were being confused for bills.
