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.
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
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.”
