The Edo State chapter of Labour Party, LP, has declared that it will not allow the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to pocket the destinies of citizens of Edo as he purportedly did in Lagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The declaration was made in Benin on Sunday by Isaiah Osifo, the governorship candidate of Labour Party, while reacting to Tinubu\u2019s comment on the crisis rocking the Edo State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Osifo who warned the former Lagos State governor to stay off politics in Edo, Tinubu and former APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole won\u2019t be allowed to impose retrogressive politics on the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osifo said; \u201cIn Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu<\/a> has succeeded in putting the destinies of over twenty million Lagosians in his pocket, who must go and prostrate in his Bourdillon residence before they can seek elective positions, buy property and even start a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is this retrogressive brand of politics that Tinubu wants to import to Edo State. But he fails to realise that Edo people have never been candidates for such mental dominance and subservience. He can check Nigeria\u2019s historical records for this fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTinubu cannot do to our people in the 21st century, what our forebears vehemently rejected till this day. He cannot subordinate a free people like us, who would give anything for the triumph of social justice, to his whims. He should learn about Edo people from the rise and fall of Adams Oshiomhole, the sacked national chairman of the APC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While restating his support for Godwin Obaseki, the the LP governorship candidate stated that the incumbent governor of the state had succeeded in stamping out the activities of area boys and land grabbers from Edo\u2019s socio-economic space but the reverse was the case in Lagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Edo State, the Geographic Information Service agency, set up by Governor Obaseki issues Certificate of Occupancy in a matter of weeks, and at affordable cost. But in Lagos, the issuance of C-of-Os is still largely influenced by Tinubu, several years after leaving office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the kind of culture Tinubu wants to foist on Edo people through his agents such as Adams Oshiomhole and the APC gubernatorial candidate. But Edo people will not allow them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
