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.
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
