National Assembly Elections: EFP Task APC And PDP Candidates To Work Towards Placing Edo State To Prominence Amongst Comity Of States.

Edo Forum of Patriots tasks APC and PDP candidates for National Assembly elections to work towards the rescue of Edo State from it’s descending relevance in the comity of States to one of prominence.

In the last five years, Edo State has been in the news for one nasty political crisis or the other, and less or zero attention has been paid to existential threats of herdsmen menace, and disproportionate corporate social responsibility by oil and gas multinationals, cultism and youth gangsterism.

The circle of crisis cost our State the exalted office of the APC national chairman, as well as the chairman of almost inaugurated NDDC board. It has been five years of God’s grace, and it was high time senatorial synergies is built among the three senators, and nine House of Representative members for rapid socioeconomic transformation of our State. As you move into campaigns, it should be intellectually based, it should be oiled by patriotic will as opposed to chauvinistic tendencies and personal aggrandizement.

We urge parties to imbibe the spirit of town hall engagement with the electorate with a view to making far reaching inputs into the legislative schemes of their candidates. Let us make clear that Edo people will hold candidates and parties accountable for any unpalatable electioneering conducts in the build up to the general elections.
