Group Warns Oshiomhole Against Taking Benins For Granted

The Benin Solidary Movement, has issued the National Chairman of the All Progressive Party APC Adams Oshiomhole, not to take the people of Benin for granted.

The warnings is coming following the faceoff between Oshiomhole and the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.

The group’s president Comrade Curtis Eghosa Ugbo, disclosed this in press statement he signed over the weekend.

Ugbo stressed that if care was taken the situation might have adverse effects on the people of the state.

He said “it could snowball into a small conflagration capable of consuming all the efforts that have been made to make the state a model for others.”

The group’s statement reads “The attention of the Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM) has been drawn to the recent acts of political gangsterism being exhibited by some disgruntled politicians and their hirelings in the political space of the state.

“These disgruntled politicians have gone as far as taking certain steps that are inimical to the rule of law and also capable of setting the state ablaze if not nipped in the bud.

“As the conscience of the society and also the voice of the voiceless, it is our duty to call these troublemakers to order immediately so that posterity will not count inaction against us.

“It should be noted that this action (attack on Obaseki) stands out as the second time in the space of three years that a prominent Benin man would be attacked in that part of the state (Etsako West) coming after the attack on another respected Benin man, Hon. Pius Odubu, the then deputy governor of the state, while on a political campaign to be governor.

“Also worrisome is the neo-godfatherism cloak that some politicians have worn even as in the days of yore their voice was loudest condemning those they accused of fostering decisions on the state.

“The same politician wanting to be a godfather in the state wanted to sell our Edo House in Lagos to himself using his cronies and we fought him to a stand-still not to sell that house our argument was that “if that house was sold before, will it be there for him to sell.”
