There are a good number of concerned Edo
people in and outside the state who believe that the current crisis is
unwarranted. Behind the scene, there seems to be those who are not
favourably disposed to the leadership style of this administration. But
this ought not to be so because different leaders do have different
approach to issues. Right or wrong, Edo State which has suffered several
setbacks before the advent of this regime, has gradually regained its
lost glory with the new look of the State.
I will be the first to concede that
Governor Adams Oshiomhole is not without flaws. Having acknowledged this
fact, any observer can clearly see Edo State today and yesterday. The
moment has come for Edo people to ask proper questions and draw the
right inferences about what is going on. The Peoples Democratic Party
lawmakers, on whose side are they? What moral right do they have to
accuse the governor of any wrong doing when they cannot point to any
meaningful project in their constituencies? Before now, they were in one
accord dining and wining together. The greatest satisfaction in a
leader is that of building people, not in using people to accomplish
your goals.
I am calling on the peace-loving people
of Edo never to succumb to the temptation of believing that politicians
will ever fight for their interest without their personal interest.
Hitherto, the hurdles on our path to greatness have always been placed
by the few with vested interest, selfish and inordinate ambition for
power and wealth. My candid advice is that whoever desires a change must
wait for the next election to test his or her popularity. To do
otherwise will be an act of betrayer and being insensitive to the pain
and anguish of the Edo people.
