APC Chieftain, Alimikhena Reacts To ‘Sleeping Senator’ Tag By Oshiomhole’s Allies

The representative of Edo North Senatorial District, Francis Alimikhena, has opposed the ‘sleeping senator’ tag on him by allies of the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Alimikhena, of the APC, through his aide, Benjamin Atu, described his accusers as political outsiders, sponsored merchants and jobbers, who had no idea of his development efforts in Edo North Senatorial District.

The senator said: “The paid merchants should come for two weeks development inspection tour of my projects in Edo North.

“On the issue of boreholes that have stopped functioning, the fact that the critics admit that boreholes exist means that they are ignorant. They are paid to criticise me, but they have failed, since they did not do proper research, before criticising me.”

Oshiomhole’s allies, on the platform of Southsouth Movement, Edo North chapter, led by Alhaji Mustapher Buddy, Vitalis Eshokene, Ojisua Akojima David and Felix Ughiovhe, promised to stop the third term bid of Alimikhena.

They insisted that they would sustain the pressure on Oshiomhole to throw his hat into ring and vie in 2023, as the representative of Edo North Senatorial District, alleging that Alimikhena had not met the yearnings and aspirations of the people to deserve third term in the Senate.

The pro-Oshiomhole group described the senator’s projects, especially the boreholes, as ceremonial, stressing that they ceased to function immediately after their inauguration.

The members said: “Sen. Alimikhena has failed to meet the collective interest of our people. He was a principal member of the Senate in his first term and there was no significant project he attracted to the senatorial district with this position. Look at what Prof. Julius Ihonvbvere, also of the APC, is doing in Owan Federal Constituency, with laudable people-orientated projects.
