PDP Can’t Win Edo, APC Tells Jonathan by omon24(m): 3:10pm On Sep 30, 2014 |
Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) on Monday told President Goodluck Jonathan that it was a tall dream to think that Chief Tom Ikimi who recently joined the PDP would win Edo State for him. The APC was apparently reacting to Saturday’ s declaration by the President in Benin that his Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) would recapture Edo State in 2015 and 2016 . President Jonathan at a unity rally of the PDP in Benin City, had declared that the party would win Rivers and Edo states back in 2015 and 2016 , asserting that in Rivers State , “we know that the party in charge is PDP , the APC only exist on billboards ”. But in a swift reaction, the APC through the Special Adviser to Governor Adams Oshiomhole on Political Matters and a member of the state APC caucus , Charles Idahosa , reminded the President that the Binis which constitute over 50 per cent of the population of Edo State have been marginalised in his government and therefore it would be a tall dream to think that the “Esan godfather will win Edo for him”. “It is unfortunate that the President is being deceived by the PDP leaders here and people like Ikimi who recently defected to the PDP because he lost out in the chairmanship of the APC . It is just a dream they can never deliver . Tom Ikimi who spoke during the rally, how many people defected to PDP with him? “Ikimi said he left APC because after cooking the food people came and stole both the pot and the food but in this case , he forgot that it was Ize - Iyamu who cooked those that left the APC for PDP but he went at the stadium to hijack the show by introducing Ize - Iyamu instead of Ize - Iyamu introducing Ikimi to the President. “Ize - Iyamu who did all the cooking was now a spectator . The only people who spoke at that rally, in Benin soil were two Esan people , Anenin and Ikimi, and that is the continuation of the subjugation of the Binis by the minorities. “Dr . Ogbemudia was never mentioned there , former Governor Lucky Igbinedion was seated there , his father Esama was seated, none of them was asked to speak, yet President Jonathan is boasting that PDP will win Edo, that is laughable ,” he stated. “We will deal with them in February. As we speak today there is no single Bini man or woman who is a Minister, Permanent Secretary , CEO , so what is the PDP going to tell Benin people that will make the Benins vote for PDP ? . And the days of rigging are over. We are going to deal with them . Every appointment is in Esan, Uromi in particular . It is a wild dream to say they will win Edo ,” he further stated. --Daily Independent |
