GROUP ENJOINS ONDO PDP TO FIELD EBISENI AS GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE
A socio-political group in Ondo State, Ondo State Development Movement (OSDM), has enjoined, the main opposition party, PDP to field to Chief Olusola Nehemiah Ebiseni as its Governorship candidate
The group hinged its appeal on impeccable political credentials and towering pedigree of the aspirant which it said are far above the closest Gubernatorial hopeful jostling with him for the party flag comes November, 2024 Governorship election.
In a statement by its coordinator, Mr. Bejide Olugbenga said considering the poor performances of the ruling party in the State, APC, in all spheres of human endeavors, this is the right time for the opposition to liberate the hapless people of Ondo State through Ebiseni, the man of the people well prepared for the task.
“We watched in total disbelief and total disappointment how some programmes put in place by PDP government to better the lot of the people were bastardized or cancelled by the current APC administration in the state due to lack of empathy for the masses.
The Statement adds, that, before now, health care for pregnant women, women in labour, nursing mothers, children and aged citizens, was free of charge; but now, those categories of people pay through their noses to get any attention.
Same thing happened to school pupils and students who glided in government -owned buses to and fro school, but now, many parents have to bear the cost of transportation and even pay exorbitant school fees on behalf of their children, under unfriendly education fee paying policy the APC administration forcefully foisted on the people
“Till date, we cannot point at any development in the lives of the people, as our youths graduate and keep roaming about the streets when there are a lot of programmes the government can embark on, to alleviate their suffering.
“We honestly do not know what the incumbent government is doing with the humongous federal allocations it has been collecting from the federation accounts in the last seven and half years,” the group lamented.
Considering the poor performances of the APC led government of the State in the last Seven years the Social Political Group urged the PDP leaders and delegates to do the right thing by electing by choosing Ebiseni in the forthcoming Party’s Primaries fixed April 25th.
The group added that from all indices on ground and having contested the Primaries election in 2016 and 2020, Ebiseni, the secretary general of Afenifere, a household name in ondo state as well as in Nigeria has shown beyond doubt that he is very serious to lead the State out of its current parlours state to the promise land
The Statement further adds, that without being immodest, among the aspirants in PDP, Chief Ebiseni is the only one with the right pedigree, credibility, popularity and institutional backing that can send APC parking in Ondo state.
According to the up mobile social political group, Chief Ebiseni is a tested hand and he the cap fit perfectly.
And being part of the administration that initiated all the social welfarist programmes put in place by the previous PDP administration in the State which the APC administration thrown overboard, the one time Executive Chairman of the Old Ilaje/Ese- Odo Local Government Area and three times Commissioner in the State is the best Candidate PDP can presents now, the group averred.
