An aspirant for the House of Representative under the platform
of the National Democratic Congress, NDC, Comrade Ogbidi Ehigbor Emmanuel has said that the promise of 2.5 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the Edo State governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo in the coming 2027 election was now Illusionary as such promise has become unattainable with the emergence of the National Democratic Congress.
Comrade Ogbidi, who is an aspirant for the House of Representatives in Esan Central, Esan West and Igueben Federal Constituency, under the platform of the NDC ,stated this while briefing journalists in Benin on his ambition to contest for the green chambers.
According to him,” The promise of 2.5 million votes by the Edo State governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu reelection bid in the general election in 2027 has become Illusionary and unattainable with the emergence of NDC, the fastest growing political party in Africa, and partly due to the high level of suffering as a result of the economic hardship in the land coupled with the unprecedented insecurity in the country.
” The NDC will clinch 75% of the total votes in the coming general election while the remaining 25% would be shared by the All Progressives Congress ( APC) and the other parties in the election.”
Ogbidi, who is vying for the House of Representatives in Esan Central, Esan West and Igueben Federal Constituency, stated this while briefing journalists in Benin on his ambition to contest for the green chambers.
He further stated that, Edo people should know that a new party, the fastest growing political party in Africa, as it is today, has emerged, which is the Nigeria Democratic Congress, (NDC), under the able leadership of the national leader, Senator Siraki Dickson, and the National chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe.
“We have come to clearly states and bring to reality that since the emergence of NDC in the Edo state that the 2.5 million votes as promised Mr. President has been reduced to just 25% votes in the Edo state. As God-fearing politicians who are not heartless, we choose to at least make available just that number for him.
“I am here to intimate the good people of Esan Central, Esan West, and Igueben Federal constituency and Edo state people that Nigeria Democratic Party, (NDC), the fastest growing political party in Africa has emerged, under the able leadership of the national leader, Senator Siraki Dickson, the national chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe, our able state chairman Engineer David Olukoga, not forgetting our state leader, High Chief Don Ojeme.
“And we have decided to show what it means to serve the people, what it means to deliver the dividend of democracy, what it means to deliver effective and pragmatic representation, what it means to deliver radical representation and competent oversight to checkmating the executive, and also to draw the attention of the federal governments to our constituency.
“So today we are very much aware that the Edo people are happy, the good people of Esan Central, West and Igueben federal constituency are happy because a new light has come and a new dawn has come since the emergence of NDC and the aspiration of my humble self and all the very well-notable and seasoned aspirants that are aspiring under this platform.
“And the emergence of this movement is a direct quick notice to the current occupants of Aso Rock today. And that is why even with 31 governors, because they have lost one yesterday, they are still not settled. They are still jittering.
“And we have decided to show what it means to serve the people, what it means to deliver the dividend of democracy, what it means to deliver effective and pragmatic representation, what it means to deliver radical representation and competent oversight to checkmating the executive, and also to draw the attention of the federal governments to our constituency.
“So today we are very much aware that the Edo people are happy, the good people of Central, East and West and Igueben federal constituency are happy because a new light has come and a new dawn has come since the emergence of NDC and the aspiration of my humble self and all the very well-notable and seasoned aspirants that are aspiring under this platform.
“As it is today, there is high level of discontentment horizontally and vertically, from the national presidency down to the list of office holders within the ranking of APC. So this discontentment, this dissatisfaction is what is forming the high level of rejection to the ruling class as it is today. And the embracing of the emergence of NDC.
“And that is why we know that the people are fully with us and they are going to key behind us in this contest, in this race, and in this coming election. So it is very obvious because the people yearn every day for a credible alternative. And that is what the platform of the NDC has demonstrated.
“The added advantage of the obedient movement as it is today and the combination of the Kwankwasia movement which is a major force that have brought about the OK movement across the length and breadth of the Federal Republic of Nigeria vis-a-vis those states and Esan land. So
We are very much confident that the combination of the Obedient movement and the Kwakwasia movement is a direct quite notice to the present occupiers of Aso Rock.”
