According to the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Edo Governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu the state government is using the state’s resources to promote violence.
He made this known in a recent statement through his Director of Communication and Media, Mr. John Mayaki.
In the statement, he also assured people of Edo State that he will transform all neglected infrastructure across the 18 Local Government Areas of the State.
The statement reads;
“It’s sad and regrettable that my clarity of purpose is what shortsighted minds call desperation; it’s really a definite statement of ambition.
It is true that the call for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as governor of Edo state is becoming clearer and louder he’s humbled by the people’s support and belief in him. The desire to reposition and restructure Edo state is now the project of all Edolits, which is the people’s project.
The Simple Agenda—A Manifesto of Hope was there in 2016, coming into being as the comprehensive collection of politically applicable principles, clauses, and initiatives gained from long years in active political service.
A newer and updated version appears, coming to accommodate the needs of the time and to iron out a life ruffled by the bad attitudes of the Obaseki leadership.”
The updated manifesto reflects the pains and desires of the vast majority of Edo people whom Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu interacted with in consonance with his belief in people-centered governance and leadership.
Unfortunately, these are traits missing in Edo leadership as presently constituted where the scarce resources rather being used for the betterment of its citizens, are channeled to promote violence and thuggery, victimization and plunder.”
