The coast is getting clearer on the position of the House of Representatives for Esan Central, Esan West and Igueben Federal Constituency as attention is being swifted to Barr. Alex Adoghe by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming primaries of the party as he is gradually being identified as the one to rely on to give his people a better representation that will translate to dividends of democracy in his constituents.
Investigation revealed that the stakeholders in the party have vowed to ensure the right thing is done to avoid crisis in the party.They asserted that Edo Central PDP have been free of crisis as a result of doing the right thing in the past.
Trouble and infighting in the party arise due to marginalization, injustice and unfairness. It is no longer news that Edo Central made up of the Esans have suffered a great marginalization and humiliation from the government of Edo State beginning from Adams Oshiomhole's regime till date.
But if Edo Central take a cue by marginalising themselves it will be more painful and regretable. We should not wait for some of these communities affected to be protesting on the streets against marginalization and injustice being meted on them before yielding to their demands. No community is inferior to others. Let us continue to live peacefully as we have been doing in the past.
On this note, it is good we appreciate what God has been doing for us in the area of coexistence. Other Senatorial districts in Edo have always emulated us for this brotherliness.
In this dispensation we want the leaders of PDP to handle this primaries in this constituency maturely, justly and fairly in order to keep us more united as a people after the election.
The party should not be distracted by third term promoters. They are only clamouring for it to decieved and distract the leaders and delegates in choosing the right person to represent the people. From onset they knew it will not work, because the two terms mandate given to the present serving members of the National Assembly will elapse in 2023. So, let us be guided.
With these observations articulated above the leaders of PDP and other stakeholders in Edo Central should be able to come out boldly and do the needful by asking other aspirants to cue behind Barr. Alex Adoghe who is from Igueben local government that is their turn to produce a member of House of Representatives come 2023.
The reason to zero in on Alex Adoghe is not far fetch. Apart from being from an advantage local government he is also Lucky to be the most qualified person among others for a productive and purposeful representation at this moment.
So far, Adoghe has displayed his genuine willingness to serve his people considering the manner he is going about his consultations.
I know in politics doing the right thing is sometimes difficult. But in this case I can assure you that it is achievable and doable. I can also assure the party that this kind of process will gladden the hearts of the voters knowing fully well that the right decision has been made and they will be more prepared to do what they are known for on the election day.
But if the rotational arrangements put in place is not adhered to it will be a deservices to the collective will of the people of Esan land. Let us continue with what has been binding us together.
I also know that if the right thing is done Barr. Alex Adoghe as a man of humility will be more determined to give his maximum support to other PDP candidates in Edo Central to ensure total victory for the party. It is not an imaginary thing because that is what he has been doing for PDP in all the past elections which the party has been victorious. Therefore, trust him to deliver.
