Vote Wisely for Edo’s Future, Oarhe Dickson Urges Electorates
Oarhe Dickson, a former National Assembly candidate, has called on the people of Edo State to vote wisely in the upcoming governorship election set for tomorrow.
He stressed the importance of this election in shaping a prosperous and thriving democracy, one that can bring about numerous benefits for the people.
In his statement on Thursday, Dickson emphasized that it is crucial for political parties, their candidates, supporters, and key groups, including the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to uphold the principles of justice, equity, transparency, fairness, and adherence to the rule of law.
He urged all stakeholders to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects these values, ensuring a free and fair election process.
Dickson also appealed to Edo voters to actively participate in the election, describing Saturday’s event as an opportunity for a united family to make an important decision.
He encouraged voters to consider the future of the state and the type of leadership that can drive economic growth and development.
“In these critical times, it is essential for Edolites to make the right choice through their vote.
We need a leader who can attract investors, create wealth, and boost the state’s economy for the benefit of all its citizens,” Dickson stated.
He underscored the importance of electing someone capable of addressing the state’s current challenges and enhancing the overall well-being of the people.
The governorship election in Edo State is scheduled to take place on Saturday, with voters across the state preparing to cast their ballots at polling units statewide.
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
Nigerian singer, Charly Boy, has spoken on the resumption of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as she resumed her duties in the National Assembly after her suspension.
The singer took to social media to show his support for the senator, praising her while warning others, including Akpabio, that she is not someone to be easily dealt with.
He wrote “Una don hear say Senator Natasha don enter National Assembly? You can’t mess with an Alpha woman like that. It seems like they have exhausted their lies; the only available option is to unseal or face international sanctions. Akpabio, be careful next time, no be all women be ntanta.”
