DEMOCRACY DAY: OGUN SALUTES CONSTITUENTS, ASSURES THEM OF A BETTER FUTURE


The Honourable member representing Esan North-East/Esan South-East Federal Constituency of Edo state in the House of Representatives, Rt Hon. ( Barr.) Deacon Sergius Oseasochie Ogun has hailed the  people of Agbazilo for their unalloyed commitment to the entrenchment of true democracy in the polity. 

In the dark days of stark military dictatorship which was characterized by arbitrary rule, human right abuses, suppression of the press and extra-judicial killings, the people of Agbazilo were not left behind in the suffocating struggle to restore democratic rule to the nation's polity. Many illustrious sons of  Agbazilo joined the brutal fight that eventually culminated in the return of democratic rule in 1999. Our very own Late Chief Anthony Enahoro and other pro-democracy activists spearheaded the vanguard that gave birth to the democracy which we all are enjoying today. May their labour not be in vain.

Although the under-perfoming  government at the centre has failed to live up to its own larger than life electoral promises, we should be consoled by the fact that we have a listening and hardworking representative in the House of Representatives who is working round the clock to ensure that we get the true dividends of democracy. We should also take solace in the fact that Edo state is now under the control of PDP, the only party that truly means well for the ordinary people. 

While it is glaringly obvious that the nation has been overwhelmed by monstrous insecurity, outrageous inflation, festering agricultural decay, infrastructural rot and failing economy occasioned by the unguided actions and inactions of the federal government, I enjoin the good people of Esan North-East and Esan South-East LGAs to not lose faith in Nigeria as the ephemeral pains  Nigerians across political, ethnic and religious divides are going through today will be ameliorated to a considerable degree when PDP returns to Aso Rock in 2023.

Therefore, I urge all Agbazilo sons and daughters that have attained voting age but are yet to obtain their voters card to  make it a point of duty to get themselves registered during the upcoming INEC continuous voter registration excercise scheduled to begin in the last week of this month of June, 2021. With our voters card, we can send the incurably evasive and irreparably ineffective APC-led national government packing from Abuja and elect a crop of competent, capable and committed leaders that can build the future of our collective dream. 

While urging you all to stay safe and strong, I wish you happy democracy day!

EDO 2024:- Esan people must look beyond personal interest to make the "Esan Agenda" fly.

Image
  There is every indication that the unguarded spirited moves in certain quarters, to present a common candidate for Edo Central, to succeed the incumbent Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, come 2024 Governorship Election, will spell doom for the entire Esan Agenda. This is so because the emerging political reality or permutations no longer favour featuring an Esan indigene to queue behind Governor Goodwin Obaseki, from outside his direct influence.  The point being made here is that it is no longer tenable for political godfathers to force their candidates on the people of Edo State, given the way and manner the current Edo State Governor was able to roll back the political clock that eventually resulted in his favour. In succeeding to demystify the once potent political influence of the godfathers in Edo State, Governor Goodwin Obaseki has historically set an interesting precedent. This is the fact of the matter: no known political godfathers in Edo State can...

The All Progressives Congress, APC in Edo State may be heading into the September 21, 2024 Governorship election as a divided party, if the romours of imposition of Mr. Dennis Idahosa as his preferred candidate is true. What started as rumour few weeks ago has gained traction across the state, with reports of a meeting Senator Adams Oshiomhole allegedly held with two of his former Commissioners, Mr. Kassim Afegbua and Mr. Mika Amanokha in company of Mr. Dennis Idahosa.  Oshiomhole is said to have urged both former Commissioners to spread the message to APC chairmen across the 18 Local Government Areas.  One of the local chairmen in Edo North confirmed that he has been instructed to call a meeting of leaders to pass the message that President Bola Tinubu and his Vice President, Kashim Shettima as well as the National Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje have all blessed Idahosa for the ticket.  However, other aspirant, like Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Gen Charles Airhi...

. The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) has noted with concern, the alarming spikes in the cases of physical and domestic violence against women by their spouses. The ugly development is becoming worrisome, reprehensible, dastardly thus, totally unacceptable . It is particularly worrisome to note that in the month of August 2022 alone, there were three documented cases of wife battery that inflicted serious physical injuries, mental torture, dehumanised sanctity and dignity of victims by their husbands in the country. One of the sad cases, is confirmed dead from the alleged  unfortunate violence. In a statement signed by the national president Comrade Ladi Bala, the cases include that of a Local Government Transition Committee chairman of Nnewi North of Anambra State, who is being accused of committing violence against his wife that  led to her untimely death.
