*Conference of political parties hails Obaseki’s devt strides, endorses PDP candidates for March 18 polls*

The Edo State’s chapter of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), an umbrella of political parties in Edo State, after careful consideration and review, has endorsed the candidates of the PDP in the Saturday, March 18 House of Assembly elections.

Our decision to endorse the PDP candidates is based on the remarkable achievements of Governor Godwin Obaseki in various sectors, including health, energy, agriculture, education, and infrastructure, among others.

The governor's programmes and projects across the state have continued to bring significant improvements to the lives of our people, hence the need to support him by voting for those that will only contribute to the government’s drive for progress and development in our state, rather than those on a mission to cause crisis and chaos.

Our endorsement of the PDP candidates reflects our commitment to advancing the interests of our state and ensuring that our people are represented by capable and visionary leaders. We are confident that electing the PDP candidates into the House will ensure that the governor sustains ongoing projects and reforms to improve the livelihoods of the people and ensure economic prosperity for the state.

We urge all members of the CNPP and voters across the state to come out en masse on Saturday, March 18 2023 to vote for candidates of the PDP for quality representation at the Edo State House of Assembly.

*Conference of political parties hails Obaseki’s devt strides, endorses PDP candidates for March 18 polls*

The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has thrown its weight behind the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Saturday, March 18 House of Assembly elections, citing the unprecedented performance of the State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, across various sectors of the state, including health, infrastructure, education, agriculture, among others.

The umbrella body of political parties in the state expressed confidence that electing the PDP candidates into the House will ensure the governor sustains ongoing projects and reforms to improve the livelihoods of the people and ensure economic prosperity for the state.

In a statement jointly signed by its chairman, Comrade Roy Oribhabor and secretary, Mr. Civic Momodu, the Edo State’s chapter of the CNPP, urged members of the group and Edo voters to come out en masse to vote for candidates of the PDP to support the governor’s transformational drive in the state.

According to the group, from the welfare of workers and security of lives and property, through education and healthcare, to infrastructure and industrialization, the governor has, in the last six years, performed exceedingly well and deserves the support of all Edo people to sustain these achievements.

The statement reads: “The Edo State’s chapter of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), an umbrella of political parties in Edo State, after careful consideration and review, has endorsed the candidates of the PDP in the upcoming House of Assembly elections.

“Our decision to endorse the PDP candidates is based on the remarkable achievements of Governor Godwin Obaseki in various sectors, including health, energy, agriculture, education, and infrastructure, among others. The governor's programmes and projects across the state have continued to bring significant improvements to the lives of our people, hence the need to support him by voting for those that will only contribute to the government’s drive for progress and development in our state, rather than those on a mission to cause crisis and chaos.”

Oribhabor further noted, “Our endorsement of the PDP candidates reflects our commitment to advancing the interests of our state and ensuring that our people are represented by capable and visionary leaders. We urge all members of the CNPP and voters across the state to come out en masse on Saturday, March 18 2023 to vote for candidates of the PDP for quality representation at the Edo State House of Assembly.”

*Labour Party or No Labour Party, I will conquer Esanland* .

_- Oshiomole tells APC National Caucus_

*_Says dead or alive, it is time to fulfil his dream of_ _beating* *Chief Anenih in his domain*__

Comrade Adam Oshiomole, the former governor of Edo State was at his best when he addressed the APC national caucus meeting proceeding the elected NASS meeting at the instance of the president elect, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The former National Chairman of the ruling party boasted that he is long done with his Edo North Senatorial District and that he has moved to conquer Edo Central, which has always been his dream since his time as governor of the state. He told his audience that the late Chief Tony Anenih, the former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party was the man he actually wanted to beat hands down and added that whether Chief Anenih was alive or dead, he would still achieve his goal.

Oshiomole, who danced to the admiration of his admirers, explained how he returned the two senators and the House of Representatives in the two districts in the last election, and said that he cared less about what the Edo South people think of him.

When reminded that the Labour Party National Chairman is from Edo Central and that the people have decided to support the Labour Party in the House of Assembly election, Oshiomole waved it away. He maintained that the Labour Party is not a threat because he knows how to deal with the Esan people whose leaders he said prefer their immediate gains to their people's collective interest.

When also reminded that the PDP might surprise APC in the House of Assembly election, he simply laughed it out and told them that with the betrayal of a faction of the PDP by Gov. Godwin Obaseki, nobody is talking of the PDP in Edo State. Oshiomole added that he is monitoring situations in Edo Central very closely and that he would not allow the Labour Party to have their ways in that place he called Esanland, which is his territory to conquer. He boasted that he dictates the political directions of Edo State, even as he would deliver a governor for the party next year.

_"Our only problem is how to coarse the one they call the legacy PDP into supporting us instead of supporting Labour Party, and it is going to be by all means possible. I have put up the mechanism_ _for that. I know how to deal with their leaders. I did_ _successfully with the National Assembly election and I will repeat it again"._

Comrade Adam Oshiomole was making the case for his Senate Presidential ambition which was allegedly zoned to the South East but which he tried to convince his party to give him as a reward for his efforts. He wondered why on earth would the party so reward a zone that could not even produce 25% in any state for the party.

This is just the beginning, God will continue to arrest them

*APC chieftain, Jaret Tenebe arrested over illegal possession of arms, invasion of INEC office in Edo*

The Edo State Police Command has arrested a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jaret Tenebe, and one Akeem Zibiri, a retired officer of the NDLEA over illegal possession of arms and invasion of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.

Tenebe, alongside the NDLEA officer, in the early hours of Thursday, led some thugs to the INEC office in Etsako West where they were apprehended by the Police.

The culprits were said to be on a mission to loot and tamper with sensitive materials ahead of Saturday's House of Assembly elections in Edo State.

They were arrested following an intelligence report and have been taken to State CID for detention and further prosecution.

Recall that Tenebe, widely believed to be an active sponsor of thuggery and bunkering, had earlier in a viral video online threatened to cause mayhem in the state, and boastfully stated that he cannot be arrested by the police.

Details soon…

*Edo govt directs Ambrose Alli University mgt to retrieve illegal sack letters*

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has directed the management of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, to reverse and retrieve all recent illegal disengagement letters issued to staff of the institution.

The governor insists that the sack notices said to have been issued earlier to some staff of the university are illegal, null and void.

The management is to retrieve any such illegal letters if they were ever issued and reinstate the affected staff.

The governor has ordered an in-depth investigation into what led to the sporadic issuance of illegal sack letters and assured that all found culpable will be brought to book.

The government reiterates its commitment to the welfare of staff and is working to address all lingering issues affecting workers at the state-owned institution.

*APC, Oshiomhole laughing, mocking Edo voters, we must not let them laugh last*

ABSCONDEE House of Assembly member-elect for Oredo West Constituency, *Christopher Ewere Okaeben,* in an engagement with Ogbelaka youths, at the weekend, made a mockery of Edo voters while praising the tactics deployed by his party, the APC to manipulate the result of the February 25 Presidential election and steal the people’s mandate.

In his words, *Okaeben* said, *“There’s nothing anyone can do about Tinubu’s victory. He remains our president no matter what anyone thinks or does. He is smarter than other candidates and is always one step ahead. Once we are done with his celebration, we will now have time for Obaseki. He escaped the first time, he won’t this time. We know Edo people can’t wait for the showdown.”*

What an audacity from someone who the good people of Oredo voted into office to represent them and bring development to their communities but he failed and decided to pitch tent with the godfather against the will of his people. *Okaeben* betrayed their trust and denied them representation for four years for his own selfish interests and those of his godfather, *Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.*

Unfortunately, *Okaeben* and his ilk are now being recycled and repackaged by the APC to contest for the upcoming elections to enter another power tussle with the governor, ignore our voices and deny Edo people more years of non-representation at the Assembly. Edo people, can we afford to make the same mistake twice? Are we going to reward them for neglecting us when we needed them the most?

As we set for Saturday’s House of Assembly elections, we must have in mind that the progress and development of our dear State is what is paramount. We must come out en masse to choose leaders who are not beholden to any godfather; those who will work for the betterment of our state.

We must choose leaders who will work with us, not against us. We must also be strategic to reject the influence of godfathers who seek to control our representatives and use them for their personal gain. We must vote for candidates who have a proven track record of service to the people and are committed to making Edo a better place.

*For Okaeben and his cohorts, we must reject them in totality because they first rejected and abandoned us.* We must not give them the chance to return chaos and confusion to our House of Assemble and our dear State.

Yes, it is their turn to laugh now, but they must not laugh last. Come Saturday, March 18, 2023, we must shame them and remind them that power belongs to the people. Edo people will laugh last and laugh best!!!
