* Appreciates CSOs peaceful protest
By Kingsley Abavo, Benin
The Edo State Chapter of Labour Party, (LP) has called on petroleum marketers to be cautious in their arbitrary increase of petroleum products; which prompted Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to stage a peaceful protest in the State on Monday, 30 January, 2023.
The Party in a press statement issued and signed by its State Chairman, Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi, and made available to newsmen in Benin-City, blamed the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government for lack of transparency in the governance of the country.
“it is a pity that those voted into power who are supposed to bring in the dividends of democracy to the people are only after their pocket. It is so sad that we found ourselves in this situation.
“Next month February 25 general election is the time the youth should take back what rightful belong to them and retire those old politicians who do not mean well for the growth and development of the youths in this country.”
The Edo LP Chairman appreciated the manner the Civil Society Organizations went about their peaceful protest to drive home demands against the arbitrary increase of petroleum products in the State.
He urged them to consequently arm themselves with their Personal Voters’ Cards (PVCs ) to vote out the unprogressive, and tyrannical politicians who are only concerned with their selfish gains, to the detriment of majority of Nigerians who voted for them.
Ogbaloi commended the people of Edo State for the way and manner they have managed the hardship created by the change of the new currency; he urged them to remain steadfast and cast all their votes for the Labour Party candidates, for a better Nigeria.
