The ‘Big Engine’ Of Edo Politics: Oshiomhole’s Endorsement Sought By All

The popular Nigerian Pidgin saying, “Edo no dey carry last,” reflects the pride, resilience, and determination of the people of Edo state. It signifies their commitment to excel and not be left behind in various aspects of life.

“Edo no dey carry last” embodies the Edo people’s competitive spirit and determination to excel, serving as a motivational expression that encourages individuals to strive for excellence and reject mediocrity. It is closely associated with Edo state’s dynamic political landscape, where elections make headlines due to their high stakes, active civic engagement, and national significance, reflecting the state’s commitment not to lag behind in shaping its political future.

Amidst the anticipation surrounding Edo 2024, one individual stands out as a prominent and influential figure across party lines: Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole. Known as “small body big engine,” Oshioquake’s influence doesn’t stem from selfish ambitions but rather from his deep-seated patriotism, which continues to baffle both critics and political analysts.

Oshiomhole’s reputation is built on his integrity, strong leadership, dedication to public service, transparency, and a history of tangible achievements as the former governor of Edo State. His empathetic and inclusive approach, effective communication, and responsiveness have garnered him widespread appeal in Nigerian politics.

Even when he was not in public office prior to becoming a senator, Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole was highly regarded by the common man due to his persistent devotion to their welfare and his continued support for their interests. His passion and sensitivity for ordinary individuals have cemented his public status.

As Edo 2024 approaches, politicians from all affiliations seek his endorsement, recognising his ability to mobilise not only the unshakable support of Edo North but also his substantial influence in the other senatorial districts.

Oshiomhole’s dedication to the masses has endeared him to the people, making him a key figure in the upcoming election and a testament to the enduring power of selfless leadership.

As Edo state embarks on its political journey, Oshiomhole’s legacy serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder that, with integrity, transparency, and a genuine dedication to public service, the people of Edo can indeed “carry first” in the pursuit of progress, prosperity, and a brighter future.
