Prince Peter Enoseregbe Uwadiae Igbinigie Esq. recently emerged the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the Party’s recent State Congress in Benin-City. He spoke with Journalists about how he intends to surmount all the intriguing issues in Edo State politics, as an opposition especially in the run up to 2023, another magic year in Nigeria’s democracy.
He asserts, “we have mapped out strategies on how to ensure that tyrants who are occupying Osadebay Avenue now, are shown the way out through the normal process of balloting.
According to him, “what we have in Edo State today, is not a government”.
Uwadiae adds; that APC is the most organized political party right now in Nigeria, which was demonstrated in its recent State Congress in Benin-City.
“We are not unmindful of why we lost the last governorship election in the State hence, a lot of internal re – organization has been going on to adequately address areas of concern.
He boasts, that Edo remains APC State in-spite of the prevailing situation adding, that the immediate past Governor, Adams Oshiomhole’s satisfactory performance in office has won legion of faithful supporters for the party.
Uwadiae bares his mind on the state of affairs in the ruling PDP in the State.
“Since pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu came back to the Party with his supporters in the PDP, the remnants do not know what they are doing.
“The skirmishes going on in the PDP today is a testament, that the Party has been balkanized, enthroning disillusionment, and disenchantment with no direction among members.
“Somebody would wake up and say because he is the leader of the party, he wants to take over the structure, God forbid!
“All political parties have their constitution which does not suggest that when a man comes as a Governor of a State, he must destroy people who have been elected to a statutorily tenured position.
“But that is what the Governor is doing now, and they are in disarray.”
Stating, that his party will soon be harvesting PDP members in the State, he adds that it is still APC and all others in Edo.
The new mouthpiece of Edo APC described the recently elected Exco members, as people who are tested, trusted and knows the rudiments in the game of politics; and would soon be unfolding their action plans.
He promised, his Party will be constructively engaging the Obaseki led ruling PDP Government in the days ahead; adding that it is not docile contrary to the opinion held in some quarters.
For more positive impacts, Uwadiae promised to maximally use his cordial relationship with members of the media “to let Edo people know that we are here to positively change the narratives, particularly as it relates to their well being.
“We will be letting the world know that governance; though a collective responsibility, those who are saddled with that responsibility must be seen to be living up to expectation.
“We are going to put every Government functionary in check as to their action, and inaction. And when we do that and Edo people are seeing that being done, they will know that a brand new APC is now in place in Edo State.”
