The State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has accused the Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of masterminding a protest that is likely to take place in Benin today (Wednesday)
The PDP in a statement released by the state Publicity Secretary Chris Nosa Nehikhare expressed sadness that the governor is wasting scarce resources for unnecessarily things.
According to the inormation, the governor has released N30 million to the to APC party chairmen in the eighten local ogvernment areas to mobilise youth to carry out the protest in the heart of Benin.
The protest is organized to check the successful protest by Edo Civil Society by Takalawa Parliament against the introduction of Land Use Charge, which according to the protesters was a witch hunt to the people who are already struggling to pay previous taxation without anything to show for it.
Mr. Nehikhare said ” Edo PDP has just been reliably informed that Governor Adams Oshiomole and his APC government just released the sum of N30m to APC party chairmen in the eighteen local government areas in the state to mobilize some of the youths it failed to and refused to employ and then stage a protest around Benin City tomorrow Wednesday 11th, 2015.
” We would like to use this medium to advise the governor not to use the scarce state resources for “vendetta” and massage his bruised ego. At this time of imminent economic depression, the governor should adopt a more prudent approach in spending taxpayers money especially when the people have shown that he, as well as his policies have been rejected. He will do well to have a rethink of his style and policies if he wants to warm his way back to the heart Edo people.
“We ask the good people of Edo State, parents as well as youths, to refrain from joining this protest in support of a drowning man. You will be enticed with Edo State money, reject it and ask them to use it to fix our dilapidated roads as well as defray the obnoxious Land Use Charge.
Let him know that Edo state is not for sale! Edo PDP…listening to the cries of Edo People!
