2019: Elders, indigenes of Okada community in Edo endorse APC

- A massive number of Okada residents and indigenes in Edo have pledged their support for the APC in the forthcoming 2019 polls

- This came after elders of the community in the Ovia northeast local government area of the state endorsed a National Assembly candidate, Dennis Idahosa

- The elders revealed that they chose to support Idahosa because they need a reliable representative at the National Assembly

Elders of Okada community, headquarters of Ovia northeast local government area of Edo, have urged people to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 general elections.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the call followed the resolution reached at a town hall meeting held in Okada, near Benin on Wednesday, December 26.

Speaking on the occasion, the village head of Okada, Napoleon Imude, pointed out that they have resolved to endorse the APC candidate for the Ovia federal constituency, Dennis Idahosa.

According to him, the endorsement of Idahosa’s candidacy was because they needed a “strong voice” in the National Assembly.

Imude prayed for Idahosa to succeed at the polls, while warning the people against any act of betrayal in their resolve to support the APC.

According to him, “we have heard about you, Idahosa, for a long time. You are bringing something good. All Okada men and women should hear and we pray God will make you to win.”

Responding, Idahosa assured the Okada elders that the community would be developed if the APC emerged victorious at the polls.

NAN reports that Omosede Igbinedion, who is the serving lawmaker representing Ovia in the National Assembly, is an indigene of Okada.

Meanwhile, the APC candidate has told newsmen that the reasons for his endorsement were obviously for him to fulfill three things.

Idahosa said: “One of them is for me to be active in the House to be able to attract a lot of development to the Constituency. The second is to concentrate on human capital development and to be accessible to the electorate.

“My opponents failed woefully in all these issues. She is not accessible. She is not around when important issues are being discussed during plenary. I could sense that Okada people are fed up and made up their mind to vote her out of office. They found the messiah they needed in me.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
